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.

First, this can be passed a single "plain" object. This object should follow the shaka.extern.PlayerConfiguration object. Not all fields need to be set; unset fields retain their old values.

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:
Name Type Attributes Description

A callback for when the playback rate changes. We need to watch the playback rate so that if the playback rate on the media element changes (that was not caused by our play rate controller) we can notify the controller so that it can stay in-sync with the change.
Source:

onRegionEvent_(eventNamenon-null, region)

When we fire region events, we need to copy the information out of the region to break the connection with the player's internal data. We do the copy here because this is the transition point between the player and the app.

Source:

onUnload_(has, wants) → {Promise}

This should only be called by the load graph when it is time to unload all currently initialized playback components. Unlike the other load actions, this action is built to be more general. We need to do this because we don't know what state the player will be in before unloading (including after an error occurred in the middle of a transition). This method assumes that any component could be |null| and should be safe to call from any point in the load graph.
Parameters:

If the player has loaded content, and streaming has not seen an error, this will return false.

If the player has loaded content, and streaming seen an error, but the could not resume streaming, this will return false.

Source:
Returns:
Type
boolean

seekRange() → {{start: number, end: number}}

Get the range of time (in seconds) that seeking is allowed. If the player has not loaded content, this will return a range from 0 to 0.
Source:
Returns:
Type
{start: number, end: number}

selectAudioLanguage(language, roleopt)

Sets the current audio language and current variant role to the selected language and role, and chooses a new variant if need be. If the player has not loaded any content, this will be a no-op.
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
language string
role string <optional>
Source:

selectTextLanguage(language, roleopt)

Sets the current text language and current text role to the selected language and role, and chooses a new variant if need be. If the player has not loaded any content, this will be a no-op.
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
language string
role string <optional>
Source:

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
track shaka.extern.Track
Source:

selectVariantsByLabel(label)

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 Description
label string
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.
