Advanced adaptive streaming is supported from firmware v.4.0.22. Some features are supported from firmwares v.4.1.x.

Initiated by using URL scheme http, https, hls, hlss.

• Only multiplexed MPEG-TS segments are supported. External audio segments are not supported.
• Multiplexed MPEG-TS segment can contain any video/audio formats supported by STB.
• Multiplexed MPEG-TS segment can contain multiple audio tracks.
• Multiplexed MPEG-TS segment can contain DVBSUB or Teletext subtitles.
• Seeking is limited to segment boundaries.
• Encryption: AES-128 is supported (Verimatrix is supported for some units). Sample-AES is not supported.
• First bitrate listed in m3u8 is selected when starting playback.

Initiated by using URL scheme hlsv4 or hlsv4s.

Feature set list is based on RFC8216

Tested: H.264, HEVC, AAC, AC3, MPEG Audio.
Untested, but planned: EAC3, DTS.
Not planned to support: MPEG2, MPEG4.

EXT-X-MAP is not supported for MPEGTS.
TS segment should contain no more the one video and one audio track.

Tested: H.264, HEVC, AAC.
Untested, but planned: AC3, EAC3, DTS.
Planned to support: VP9.

EXT-X-MAP is supported for initialization segment.
fMP4 segment should contain only a single stream (audio or video)

Tested: AAC.
Planned: AC3, EAC3.

EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME is only forward exterpolated.

MPEG-DASH support will be based on : DASH-IF interop guideline.
Initiated by using “.mpd” extention in URL.
Currently support is limited:

• VOD profile and some subset of Live profile are supported.
• Media segments should be MP4 (CMAF) with H264/H265 video and AAC/AC3 audio. WebM segment support is planned.
• Media should be either splitted into file segments and use SegmentTemplate tag, either have a single segment + sidx box and use SegmentBase. SegmentList was not tested.
• It is recommended that presentation has a single Period. If has multiple periods, all adaptation sets tructure should be strictly the same in all periods. Changing of media between periods is not supported.
• ClearKey encryption is supported according to W3C JSON protocol.
• Widevine L3 CDM is basically supported (from fw. 4.1.x) for “cenc” encrypted content (no renewal/rotation) on S805/S905X units.
• PlayReady CDM and Verimatrix can be implemented by request.
• Only first available video track (adaptation set) will be selected.
• Any adaptation set filtering is not supported (encrypted can be ignored, however). Audio sets will be signalled one by one.
• WebVTT subtitles are supported in MP4 container (raw wvtt should also work).
• Represenation set (bandwidth) switching is only possible between video adaptation sets. Audio would always use first representation set signalled.
• In Live mode playlist will be updated more frequently, than it may be needed.
• Any tags controlling buffering or stream priorities are not supported.

• Seeking is not limited to segment boundaries.
• Video tracks can not be switched.
• Switching of audio tracks may sometimes not work.
• When using Flussonic, URL should be “index.m3u8”, not “video.m3u8”.
