DASH (MPEG-DASH Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)

To enable streaming in DASH format, add the / media = dash / parameter to the link. The link will return an xml manifest to the manifest.mpd file.

Various options are available::

• /media=dash/ - segment size is 10 seconds, without keyframe alignment
• /media=dash2/ - segment size is 2 seconds, without keyframe alignment
• /media=dash5/ - segment size is 5 seconds, without keyframe alignment
• /media=dashA/ - average segment size is 10 seconds, keyframe alignment enabled.

The actual segment size will vary, if there are more than ten seconds between key frames - there may be empty segments.
