Streaming MPD contents for DASH


I am able to play mp4 contents using

playerInstance.setup({
"file": "video.mp4"
});

But similarly, I need to parse mpd contents and play mp4 video.

playerInstance.setup({
"file": "video.mpd"
});

I created mpd content using edash-packager & MP4Box as mentioned in https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/2020483-using-dash-streaming.

But both didn't work for me. Any help would be appreciated!

You will need a Premium Subscription in order to get DASH or HLS playback. Does it work on our JW Player Stream Tester?

Thanks for the quick reply. Is tester support only HLS ?

I tested with DASH encoded format (mpd) which doesn't work
1) http://www-itec.uni-klu.ac.at/dash/js/content/bunny_ibmff_240.mpd
2) http://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel-ck/stream.mpd (used in https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/2020483-using-dash-streaming)

Would you please let me know if there is DASH stream tester ?

The first link doesn’t work with a DASH reference player – http://dashif.org/reference/players/javascript/v2.1.1/samples/dash-if-reference-player/index.html
The second link is encrypted so it wouldn’t work in the stream tester only on that support page.

Thanks!!

I tried http://rdmedia.bbc.co.uk/dash/ondemand/testcard/1/client_manifest-events.mpd in tester which works.

And it doesn't work in JWPlayer for my api key which means I lack premium subscription!

Thanks for awesome support
