Known Issues

  • Dynamic Multiperiod is NOW supported and implemented. Note we only had one test vector to develop with and there are intermittent failures. We need some more test content to verify if it is content of player related. Please test with your own live multiperiod content and report bugs to the tracker.
  • Streams using high profile codecs may not play properly.
  • Only streams with segmentAlignment='true' will work with abr.
