Optional lowWhether the source should be played in the low-latency-mode of the player.
false
- This setting must be true when using Low-Latency CMAF with ABR.
- Available since v2.62.0.
Optional seamlessWhether to seamlessly switch between discontinuities or periods.
The player supports two strategies for handling a switch between two discontinuities in an HLS stream or two periods in an MPEG-DASH stream:
- Seamless: Once the player is done buffering the current discontinuity/period, it immediately starts buffering the next
discontinuity/period. This requires that the current discontinuity/period and the next discontinuity/period have compatible codecs and content protection,
or that the platform supports buffering different codecs in a single player.
Because the next discontinuity/period is preloaded ahead of time, this makes the actual switch between discontinuities/periods (almost) completely seamless.
- Hard: The player waits until playback reaches the end of the current discontinuity/period before buffering and playing the next
discontinuity/period. Because the buffering is not done ahead of time, this may result in a noticeable stall at the start of the next discontinuity/period.
However, this strategy does not require any special platform support, so it works on any platform or device.
By default, the player will automatically choose between a seamless or a hard discontinuity/period switch based on the codecs and content protection of the two discontinuities/periods, and the support information reported by the platform. However, if you notice that the player makes an incorrect decision on certain streams or platforms, you can use this option to override its behavior as a stopgap solution. (You should still report this problem to THEOplayer support, so we can improve the player's default behavior and you can remove this override.)
'auto'
Optional srcThe source URL of the media resource.
- Required if the ssai property is absent.
- Available since v2.4.0.
Optional ssaiThe Server-side Ad Insertion parameters for the media resource.

Optional typeThe content type (MIME type) of the media resource, represented by a value from the following list:
- 'application/dash+xml': The media resource is an MPEG-DASH stream.
- 'application/x-mpegURL' or 'application/vnd.apple.mpegurl': The media resource is an HLS stream.
- 'video/mp4', 'video/webm' and other formats: The media resource should use native HTML5 playback if supported by the browser.
- 'application/vnd.theo.hesp+json': The media resource is an HESP stream.
