1.3.0 (2015-04-16)

Feature release, introducing live streaming and offline playback.

Bugfixes:

  • Fixed playback and buffering of streams whose index is inaccurate.
  • Fixed EME spec compliance.
  • Fixed FakeEventTarget exception handling.
  • Fixed aggressive dead code stripping by the compiler.
  • Fixed a bug in which subtitles were enabled by default without a subtitle
    language match.

Features:

  • Added offline playback support.
  • Added offline support for encrypted content (on platforms which support
    persistent licenses).
  • Added live stream support.
  • Added support for header-based clock synchronization.
  • Added support for inheriting Segment{Base,List,Template} across levels in
    MPDs.
  • Add polyfill support for fullscreen events.
  • Updated EME usage to the March 12 draft.
  • Added Player.getAdaptationEnabled().
  • Added support for bandwidth restrictions and restrictions not based on
    license responses.
  • Added support for requireJS and improved support for commonJS.
  • Sped up integration tests and improved test robustness.
  • Bandwidth estimates can now be persisted across playbacks.
  • Custom bandwidth estimator objects can now be injected into the Player.
  • Improved EME v0.1b polyfill consistency with native EME in Chrome.
  • Improved buffering and underflow mechanisms.
  • Improved error reporting if DRM info is missing.
  • Improved robustness in the face of HTTP 404 and 410 errors during segment
    fetch.
  • Improved documentation for Role tags and multilingual assets.

Test app features:

  • Example player controls in the test app.

Deprecated:

  • The following methods on Player are deprecated. They will be removed in
    v1.4.0:
    • getCurrentResolution() (replace with video.videoWidth & video.videoHeight)
    • getCurrentTime()/seek() (replace with video.currentTime)
    • getDuration() (replace with video.duration)
    • getMuted()/setMuted() (replace with video.muted)
    • getVolume()/setVolume() (replace with video.volume)
    • play() (replace with video.play)
    • pause() (replace with video.pause)
    • requestFullscreen() (replace with video.requestFullscreen())

Broken compatibility:

  • The license postprocessor callback is no longer given a Restrictions
    argument. See Player.getRestrictions()/setRestrictions().
  • The suppressMultipleEvents flag has been dropped from DrmSchemeInfo, which
    changes the constructor signature. This flag interfered with key rotation.
