LoadMode :number

In order to know what method of loading the player used for some content, we have this enum. It lets us know if content has not been loaded, loaded with media source, or loaded with src equals. This enum has a low resolution, because it is only meant to express the outer limits of the various states that the player is in. For example, when someone calls a public method on player, it should not matter if they have initialized drm engine, it should only matter if they finished loading content.

Second, this can be passed two arguments. The first is the name of the key to set. This should be a '.' separated path to the key. For example, 'streaming.alwaysStreamText'. The second argument is the value to set.

Parameters:

preload(assetUri, startTimeopt, nullable, mimeTypeopt, nullable) → {Promise.<?shaka.media.PreloadManager>}

Starts to preload a given asset, and returns a PreloadManager object that represents that preloading process. The PreloadManager will load the manifest for that asset, as well as the initialization segment. It will not preload anything more than that; this feature is intended for reducing start-time latency, not for fully downloading assets before playing them (for that, use |shaka.offline.Storage|). You can pass that PreloadManager object in to the |load| method on this Player instance to finish loading that particular asset, or you can call the |destroy| method on the manager if the preload is no longer necessary. If this returns null rather than a PreloadManager, that indicates that the asset must be played with src=, which cannot be preloaded.
Parameters:

selectTextTrack(track)

Select a specific text track. track should come from a call to getTextTracks. If the track is not found, this will be a no-op. If the player has not loaded content, this will be a no-op.

Note that AdaptationEvents are not fired for manual track selections.

Parameters:
Name Type Description

Source:

selectVariantsByLabel(label, clearBufferopt, safeMarginopt)

Select variant tracks that have a given label. This assumes the label uniquely identifies an audio stream, so all the variants are expected to have the same variant.audio.
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
label string
clearBuffer boolean <optional>
 true Optional clear buffer or not when switch to new variant Defaults to true if not provided
safeMargin number <optional>
 0 Optional amount of buffer (in seconds) to retain when clearing the buffer. Defaults to 0 if not provided. Ignored if clearBuffer is false.
Source:

selectVariantTrack(track, clearBufferopt, safeMarginopt)

Select a specific variant track to play. track should come from a call to getVariantTracks. If track cannot be found, this will be a no-op. If the player has not loaded content, this will be a no-op.

Changing variants will take effect once the currently buffered content has been played. To force the change to happen sooner, use clearBuffer with safeMargin. Setting clearBuffer to true will clear all buffered content after safeMargin, allowing the new variant to start playing sooner.

Note that AdaptationEvents are not fired for manual track selections.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
track shaka.extern.Track
clearBuffer boolean <optional>
 false
safeMargin number <optional>
 0 Optional amount of buffer (in seconds) to retain when clearing the buffer. Useful for switching variant quickly without causing a buffering event. Defaults to 0 if not provided. Ignored if clearBuffer is false. Can cause hiccups on some browsers if chosen too small, e.g. The amount of two segments is a fair minimum to consider as safeMargin value.
