Introduces some additional settings and a flag to control their use.
Provides a mechanism for Dash.js to control the level of the MSE source buffer on startup or recovery from a a stall in order to prevent short stalls.
Many TV devices already appear to take steps to do this in their MSE implementations. Here, we provide a universal mechanism to ensure all devices benefit from a cautious startup after a stall.
New settings:
loadThreshold- ComplimentsstallThresholdsymmetric by default, but allows a difference recovery threshold to be set than the stall threshold for a more cautious startup.lowLatencyLoadThreshold- Low latency equivalent of the above. ComplimentslowLatencyStallThresholdsymmetric by default but allows a difference recovery threshold to be set than the stall threshold for a more cautious startup.activeSourceBufferManagement- Controls whether the above are used to stop playback (by setting rate to 0) in the period of time betweenBUFFER_EMPTYandBUFFER_LOADEDevents.
