Class: shaka.media.StreamingEngine

Constructor

new StreamingEngine(playheadnon-null, mediaSourceEnginenon-null, netEngine, manifest, onChooseStreams, onCanSwitch, onError, opt_onInitialStreamsSetupopt, opt_onStartupCompleteopt)

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.
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
playhead shaka.media.Playhead The Playhead. The caller retains ownership.
mediaSourceEngine shaka.media.MediaSourceEngine The MediaSourceEngine. The caller retains ownership.
netEngine shaka.net.NetworkingEngine
manifest shakaExtern.Manifest
onChooseStreams function(!shakaExtern.Period): !Object.<string, shakaExtern.Stream> Called when the given Period needs to be buffered. The StreamingEngine will switch to the Streams returned from this function. The caller cannot call switch() directly until the StreamingEngine calls onCanSwitch()
onCanSwitch function() Called when any Stream within the current Period may be switched to.
onError function(!shaka.util.Error) Called when an error occurs. If the error is recoverable (see @link{shaka.util.Error}) then the caller may invoke either StreamingEngine.switch() or StreamingEngine.seeked() to attempt recovery.
opt_onInitialStreamsSetup function()= <optional>
 Optional callback which is called when the initial set of Streams have been setup. Intended to be used by tests.
opt_onStartupComplete function()= <optional>
 Optional callback which is called when startup has completed. Intended to be used by tests.

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

 The Stream of the last segment that was appended.
lastSegmentReference shaka.media.SegmentReference The SegmentReference of the last segment that was appended.
needInitSegment boolean True indicates that |stream|'s init segment must be inserted before the next media segment is appended.
needRebuffering boolean True indicates that startup or re- buffering is required.
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.
leaveInBuffer number The amount of content to leave in buffer ahead of the playhead when we stop waiting to clear the buffer and actually clear it.
