Hi!

We have sometimes an issue that produces some fragments to return a 404 and I would like to know if they may be skipped.

I've seen a configuration parameter named failureCallback, could it be used to catch the error and switch to another bitrate where the fragment may exist? If not, is there any other way to manage this situation for VOD and Live Streams? Maybe seeking to next fragment?

Thanks!

Maybe something like #2541 ?

[adgllorente]

Just like that! But for DASH

[joeyparrish]

Also sounds like #2144

[joeyparrish]

But we don't have anything like that today. Should we consider this a duplicate of #2144, to skip a segment that fails? Or is more like #2541, where you want to failover to another URL per-segment (rather than skip it)?

If it's a failover you want, we have that for DASH already. Just use multiple BaseURL elements, and we'll go to the next one when there's a failure.

@adgllorente Does this answer all your questions? If so, would you please close the issue?

[adgllorente]

@joeyparrish I agree with @avelad in #2144, shaka should continue playback in live streams, however, we may take a look to multiple BaseURL elements, do you have a link with more information about this? I haven't found any information in the documentation.

@adgllorente I think this solution would help you: #4189 , can you confirm?
