📺 What

Removes videoFramesNotAdvancing feature from Dash.js. This was added during phase 2 of the low latency trial and uses the uncertified Video Quality API. The varying performance across devices of this interface led to a number of false positives.

This combined with the addition of a lowLatencyStallThreshold now in mainline Dash.js and the resolution of the underlying Chrome bug that led to this workaround mean we can now safely remove this feature.

🛠 How

Adds a temporary testing branch of a version of Dash.js without the videoFramesNotAdvancing feature.

Removes plugin interface and reporting on the PLAYBACK_FROZEN event that videoFramesNotAdvancing exposes.
