Class: shaka.media.StreamingEngine

Constructor

new StreamingEngine(manifest, playerInterface)

Creates a StreamingEngine. The StreamingEngine is responsible for setting up the Manifest's Streams (i.e., for calling each Stream's createSegmentIndex() function), for downloading segments, for co-ordinating audio, video, and text buffering, and for handling Period transitions. The StreamingEngine provides an interface to switch between Streams, but it does not choose which Streams to switch to. The StreamingEngine notifies its owner when it needs to buffer a new Period, so its owner can choose which Streams within that Period to initially buffer. Moreover, the StreamingEngine also notifies its owner when any Stream within the current Period may be switched to, so its owner can switch bitrates, resolutions, or languages. The StreamingEngine does not need to be notified about changes to the Manifest's SegmentIndexes; however, it does need to be notified when new Periods are added to the Manifest, so it can set up that Period's Streams. To start the StreamingEngine the owner must first call configure() followed by init(). The StreamingEngine will then call onChooseStreams(p) when it needs to buffer Period p; it will then switch to the Streams returned from that function. The StreamingEngine will call onCanSwitch() when any Stream within the current Period may be switched to. The owner must call seeked() each time the playhead moves to a new location within the presentation timeline; however, the owner may forego calling seeked() when the playhead moves outside the presentation timeline.

stream shakaExtern.Stream
Source:

init() → (non-null) {Promise}

Initializes the StreamingEngine. After this function is called the StreamingEngine will call onChooseStreams(p) when it needs to buffer Period p and onCanSwitch() when any Stream within that Period may be switched to. After the StreamingEngine calls onChooseStreams(p) for the first time, it will begin setting up the Streams returned from that function and subsequently switch to them. However, the StreamingEngine will not begin setting up any other Streams until at least one segment from each of the initial set of Streams has been buffered (this reduces startup latency). After the StreamingEngine completes this startup phase it will begin setting up each Period's Streams (while buffering in parrallel). When the StreamingEngine needs to buffer the next Period it will have already set up that Period's Streams. So, when the StreamingEngine calls onChooseStreams(p) after the first time, the StreamingEngine will immediately switch to the Streams returned from that function.

Returns:
Type
Promise

Type Definitions

MediaState_

Contains the state of a logical stream, i.e., a sequence of segmented data for a particular content type. At any given time there is a Stream object associated with the state of the logical stream.

Properties:
Name Type Attributes Description
type shaka.util.ManifestParserUtils.ContentType The stream's content type, e.g., 'audio', 'video', or 'text'.
stream shakaExtern.Stream The current Stream.
lastStream shakaExtern.Stream <nullable>
 The Stream of the last segment that was appended.
lastSegmentReference shaka.media.SegmentReference The SegmentReference of the last segment that was appended.
restoreStreamAfterTrickPlay shakaExtern.Stream <nullable>
 The Stream to restore after trick play mode is turned off.
needInitSegment boolean True indicates that |stream|'s init segment must be inserted before the next media segment is appended.
endOfStream boolean True indicates that the end of the buffer has hit the end of the presentation.
needPeriodIndex number The index of the Period which needs to be buffered.
performingUpdate boolean True indicates that an update is in progress.
updateTimer number <nullable>
 A non-null value indicates that an update is scheduled.
waitingToClearBuffer boolean True indicates that the buffer must be cleared after the current update finishes.
waitingToFlushBuffer boolean True indicates that the buffer must be flushed after it is cleared.
