List of AnalyticsDescriptions to configure analytics integrations for the media source.

Optional blockContentIfAdError

Content protection configuration.

Optional drm

drm?: DRMConfiguration

Content protection configuration.

Deprecated

Optional mutedAutoplay

mutedAutoplay?: MutedAutoplayConfiguration

The muted autoplay policy.

Default Value

'none'

Optional playAdsAfterTime

playAdsAfterTime?: number

If set, only allow ads to play that are scheduled after this time.

Remarks


- This setting is strictly after - e.g. setting playAdsAfterTime to 15 will cause the player to ignore an ad break scheduled to play at 15s.
- When scheduling a VMAP, it is required to set the AdSource type to vmap.

Optional poster

poster?: string

The poster of the media source.

Remarks


- An empty string ('') clears the current poster.
- This poster has priority over ChromelessPlayer.poster.

Optional streamType

streamType?: StreamType

The stream type.

Remarks


- Available since 6.9.0.
- This is used as a hint for the player to show the correct UI while loading the stream, for example to avoid showing a seek bar when the stream is known in advance to be live.
- This is required for live and DVR streams when casting to Chromecast, in order for the Chromecast receiver to show the correct UI.

Optional textTracks

textTracks?: TextTrackDescription[]

List of text tracks to be side-loaded with the media source.

Remarks


- A source change will reset side-loaded text tracks.

Optional timeServer

timeServer?: string

The URL of a time server used by the player to synchronise the time in DASH sources.

Remarks


- The time server should return time in ISO-8601 format.
- Overrides the time server provided the DASH manifest's <UTCTiming>.
- All sources will use the time server. Alternatively, for one source use BaseSource.timeServer.
