Dash Live looks like DVR/VOD?

Hi!

We had several Tests with MPEG/Dash

It works really fine, but there is one thing:

All Players we tried showed a slider

either like a VOD File (a slider to shuffle forward)

or, even stranger, like a DVR Stream (a slider to shuffle backward)

The stream to test is

Is there any way to overcome this behaviour?

Hi Robert,

I think that’s just a feature so to speak of some DASH players when presented with a live stream. I just set up a quick test using JWPlayer and your source and this created a player without any scrub bar at all. You could also edit the HTML to not show controls when hosting the player, e.g. using the examples we provide for Shaka Player.

Regards,

Paul
