Class AbrPlayer

ABR Player

This is a player that supports playback of DASH and HLS files and is based on shaka-player.

Shaka player comes with a lot of capabilities and functionallity. In order to take advantage of all features we provide access to the player instance through player.api.shakaInstance, additionally we expose some utility methods to configure the instance as well.

  • player.api.configureShaka() - wrapper to configure the shaka player instance.
  • player.api.registerRequestFilter() - wrapper to register a network interceptor for shaka.

DRM

Shaka player enables playback of DRM encoded content.
