Start Time

The SDK provides an option to start the DASH or HLS playback from a bookmark or offset into the timeline of a stream.

The startTime attribute is provided in the source object for the App to set the desired start point in the stream. A value of 0 will start a stream at the oldest point, a value of Infinity will start the stream at the newest point and any positive number of seconds will join at that specified offset from the oldest point.

Example code

window.changeStreamClicked = function () {
    var source = {
        src: "https://livesim.dashif.org/livesim-chunked/testpic4_8s/Manifest.mpd",
        type: "application/dash+xml",
		startTime: 300, // start at 5 minutes into the stream
    };
    window.player.src(source);
};
