[Stream] codec not supported: video/mp4;codecs="avc1.7A001E"

[leejinxi]

hello,
We are trying to play the video through dash-if-reference-player,

a piece of the code in my mpd :
<Representation bandwidth="261626" codecs="avc1.7A001E" frameRate="30000/1001" height="480" id="video/avc1/4" scanType="progressive" width="480"/>

but it turns to error:

[20281][Stream] [Stream] codec not supported: video/mp4;codecs="avc1.7A001E";width="480";height="480"

In the previous experiments, we can play the video which codecs="avc1.64001F" sucessfully,
BTW, we record the video by gopro max, and processed the video by ffmpeg and bento4.

Thanks.

The decoding capabilities depend on the underlying platform. We are using the codec strings from the MPD to check if the browser supports a certain codec. For instance HEVC will not work in a Chrome browser. In your case the codec string "avc1.7A001E" indicates a high profile which does not seem to be supported on the platform you are playing.
I suggest you encode with another avc level.

Feel free to reopen this if you think dash.js is doing something wrong here
