v1.3.0

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.
  • #45
• 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:

  • #22
• Added offline support for encrypted content (on platforms which support
  persistent licenses).
  • #23
• Added live stream support.
  • #21
• 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().
  • #31
• Added support for bandwidth restrictions and restrictions not based on
  license responses.
  • #36
• 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.

v1.2.0

1.2.0 (2015-02-24)

Lots of internal refactoring and bugfixes, and a few new features.

Bugfixes:

• Buffer eviction no longer causes hangs on seek. (#15)
• Adaptation no longer causes hangs on looping and seeking backward. (#26)
• StreamStats no longer shows null for width and height before adaptation. (#16)
• Content with differing start times for the audio & video streams no longer
  exhibits A/V sync issues. (#17)
• DrmSchemeInfo's suppressMultipleEncryptedEvents flag is now correctly
  honored regardless of the timing of events.
• Calculations for the $Time$ placeholder in MPD SegmentTemplates has been
  corrected.
• The test app no longer causes mixed-content errors when served over HTTPS.
• Small mistakes in URLs and asset names in the test app have been corrected.
• Windows checkouts now have consistent newline style. (#12)
• Windows build steps documented. (#13)

Features:

• The isTypeSupported polyfill has been removed and all EME APIs have been
  updated to the Feb 9 2015 EME spec. (#2)
• Gaps and overlaps in SegmentTimeline are no longer treated as an error.
  Large gaps/overlaps will still generate a warning. (#24)
• HDCP-related failures are now translated into error events in Chrome 42+. (#14)

  AdaptationSet for the purposes of language matching. (#20)

  the test app UI.
• The library has been published on npm and cdnjs.
• Release version numbering follows the semantic versioning spec.

  tests.
