video-dev/hls.js v0.14.0-beta.1 on GitHub

Enhancements

Added CEA608/708 4 channel support
- Closes Issue #2329 (cc3 closed-captions) - Thank you @ranuser9
- PRs #2550, #2645
- Adds config options:
Added renderTextTracksNatively config options (defaults to true) which allows for disabling the addition of captions/subtitle TextTracks to the video element for 608/VTT tracks
- Rather than a new TextTrack being added for captions and subtitles, NON_NATIVE_TEXT_TRACKS_FOUND and CUES_PARSED events are emitted so that the application using hls.js can handle rendering of the track and its cue points.
Added support for #EXT-X-SESSION-DATA tag in master playlist
- PRs #1846 - Thank you @theifish
- Adds sessionData property to Hls.Events.MANIFEST_LOADED event
Added removeLevel() method to API
- PRs #1846
- Remove a loaded level from the list of levels, or a level url in from a list of redundant level urls. This can be used to remove a rendition or playlist url that errors frequently from the list of levels that a user or hls.js can choose from.
Remove unnecessary files form the NPM distribution
- PRs #2605 - Thank you @radum
- Only dist and src files are included in releases moving forward

Fixed EME controller async error
- PRs #2552
- Fix "Fatal: Media is encrypted but no CDM access or no keys have been obtained yet" error by using a mediaKeys promise in the "encrypted" event callback.
Made the readme example work out of the box again
- PRs #2653 - Thank you @mmcc
Prevent internal exceptions with bad fragments
- PRs #2624
- Fixes an exception in a stream with an end fragment that contained only ID3 data and no valid elementary video or audio streams

The NON_NATIVE_TEXT_TRACKS_FOUND and CUES_PARSED event definitions are missing from API.md and will be added in the next release
