Manifest

A Manifest object describes a collection of streams (segmented audio, video, or text data) that share a common timeline. We call the collection of streams "the presentation" and their timeline "the presentation timeline". A Manifest describes one of two types of presentations: live and video-on-demand.

A live presentation begins at some point in time and either continues indefinitely or ends when the presentation stops broadcasting. For a live presentation, wall-clock time maps onto the presentation timeline, and the current wall-clock time maps to the live-edge (AKA "the current presentation time"). In contrast, a video-on-demand presentation exists entirely independent of wall-clock time.

The presentation timeline is divided into one or more Periods, and each of these Periods contains its own collection of Variants and text streams. Variant is a combination of an audio and a video streams that can be played together.

A stream has the same logical content as another stream if the only difference between the two is their quality. For example, an SD video stream and an HD video stream that depict the same scene have the same logical content; whereas an English audio stream and a French audio stream have different logical content. The player can automatically switch between streams which have the same logical content to adapt to network conditions.
