1.2.0

Release Notes

• #29 HTML5 playback in bigscreen-player

HTML5 native playback is now supported in bigscreen-player, without its dependence on the TAL device. This is implemented as a new playback strategy called nativestrategy. The new strategy can be configured the same as the current strategies, but has a configurable option of liveSupport - this determines the live media player used when playing live content.

window.bigscreenPlayer = {
    playbackStrategy: 'nativestrategy',
    liveSupport: 'seekable' // or 'restartable' or 'playable'
}

Please note that hybridstrategy now uses a combination of msestrategy & nativestrategy rather than talstrategy.

1.1.0

Release Notes

• #26 Manifest parsing.

Backwards compatible API changes to bigscreenPlayerData. For live playback, if the DASH/HLS manifest is parsed by your application, a time block can still be used by bigscreen-player. This takes precedence over the alternative, which is to pass a manifest (and manifestType) as part of the media block, as well as a serverDate Date object.

bigscreenPlayerData {
    media: {
        manifest,
        manifestType
    },
    serverDate
}
