nDVR Google Shaka DASH Player Support

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

On the main Wowza nDvr Support Page support for the Google Shaka DASH Player is advertised. In viewing the Application.xml files for Wowza 4.6 it seems the nDvr now supports MPEG DASH however the documentation still states that it does not. When I use the built in MPEG DASH test player it works for this URL:

http://10.0.0.10:1935/live/eagleeye.stream/manifest.mpd

but not this one:

http://10.0.0.10:1935/live/eagleeye.stream/manifest.mpd?DVR

If I use the Google Shaka DASH Player with the URL ending in DVR will it work and allow to access all nDvr functionality for Wowza release 4.6?

Thanks,

Tim McClure

nDVR does not currently support playback of MPEG-DASH content. This is in our backlog but we’re not able to say if or when this will be made available.

We are trying to get nDVR working with DRM. So far no luck on both fairplay/hls and dash. Does nDVR work with DRM?
