Support for MPD Anchors #1038
Comments
@ivivona Could you provide more information? Is this in your app and you just looking for a way to start from the start of the video regardless of it being live? Or are you trying to prepare content for use in someone else's app and need a way to signal to them that they should start at the start and not the live edge? |
@vaage i control both the generation and the player, so any solution is ok, but I think it will be better to let the player know from where to reproduce using the info in the MPD (in this case the url anchor). The use case is: a "watch from the start" button in page A goes to the player in page B with certain manifest URL, the player's page is kind of generic because the the manifest could be a VOD or a live. |

@vaage thanks for the response. I understand that there is a javascript solution, but my question was if shaka implements/supports MPD Anchors as indicated in the DASH specification. |
Shaka Player does not support MPD anchors, but we do have other solutions to that problem. As @vaage pointed out, you can specify a start time when you call For more complex scenarios, you can configure a payable range. See #246 for the discussion that led to that feature, and the Does that help answer your question? |
@ivivona Was @joeyparrish able to answer your question? If so, feel free to close the issue. |
Yes, thanks. Anyway, should this be implement in the future? |
We don't have any plans to support MPD anchors at this time. We believe that specifying start times and play ranges is a more general solution that applies across manifest types. |
Hi! I'm trying to play a live stream not from the live edge (now) but from the manifest first segment (ex: start from the beginning of a live concert). I read the specification and such issue can be solved using the MPD Anchors, specifying a t parameter.
I'll tried using the shaka demo player (latest version) and it doesn't seem to be working (it always start form the live edge). Is it supported? Or should I try using the player API instead?
Thanks in advance.
