release. Only release title and notes can be modified.
Highlights
- dashcheck has been run on all CTA WAVE and DASH-IF test vectors, and the false positives this
found are fixed: self-initializing files, servers that answer byte ranges with 200, negative
S@r, Periods after remote Periods, HE-AAC sampling rates, DTS audio and side-loaded subtitles. tfdtandtrunboxes are required only where the specifications require them. Fragments
withouttfdtare now checked instead of skipped.- Results follow the spec wording more closely, so an MPD that passed 0.2.1 can fail 0.3.0:
MPD-MAXSEGDUR is now an error and checks whole Segment Sequences, while MPD-COMMON-BOTH is
now information. - The browser tool keeps the latest 20 checks with their results, and its progress bar now
covers the MPD update checks.
Added
- HTTP-RANGE (warning), and HTTP-IOP-RANGE (error) for the IOP on-demand profile, when a server
answers a byte range request with status 200. dashcheck then cuts the ranges from the whole resource. - The browser tool keeps the latest 20 checks with their results in localStorage, to show them
again or to check a URL again with the same options. - MPD-XLINK-START (warning) instead of an ADDR-PERIOD error for a Period without
@startafter a
remote Period without@duration. Its segments are checked if its duration is known. - INIT-UNSUPPORTED (info) for sample entries that dashcheck cannot decode, such as DTS (
dtsc,
dtse), instead of SEG-CMAF-INIT errors.
Changed
- MPD-COMMON-BOTH is information instead of a warning: ISO/IEC 23009-1 5.3.7.1 allows it.
- MPD-MAXSEGDUR is an error instead of a warning (5.3.9.6.2), and compares a whole Segment Sequence
(@dwith@k) with@maxSegmentDuration. - References to ISO/IEC 23009-1 follow the published 6th edition (2026); SEG-SIDX-SPAN cites 6.3.5.4.
Fixed
- LIVE-NO-SEGMENTS no longer reports a live Period whose first segment is not complete yet, or
whose last segment leaves the time-shift buffer within the live margin. - The browser tool's progress bar covers the MPD update checks; it fell back to 5% while they ran.
- XCHK-SAMPLERATE accepts the sampling rate after SBR for HE-AAC (
mp4a.40.5,mp4a.40.29). - SEG-DURATION lets the last segment of an
Swith a negative@rend at the Period end. - For a self-initializing file (
SegmentBasewithoutInitialization), only the bytes before
@indexRangeare fetched as its Initialization Segment, not the whole file. - A missing tfdt is a SEG-TFDT error only in CMAF,
msdhsegments and the first fragment with
SegmentTimeline and$Time$but no sidx. SEG-START-UNKNOWN (info) marks other segments starting without it. - A traf without trun is a SEG-CMAF-CHUNK error in CMAF tracks only, not a SEG-STRUCTURE error.
- MPD-CODECS no longer warns about side-loaded subtitle files (
application/ttml+xml,text/vtt).
