Attributes and Elements
The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.
Attributes
Attribute |
Description |
|---|---|
MajorVersion |
(Required) Specifies the Client Manifest Major Version. |
MinorVersion |
(Required)Specifies the Client Manifest Minor Version. |
TimeScale |
(Optional) Specifies timescale for the entire presentation as a number of unites that pass in one second. The recommended value is 10,000,000 which maps to increments of 100ns. 10,000,000 is the default if this attribute is omitted. |
Duration |
(Required) Specifies overall presentation duration of the media in increments of the TimeScale attribute. Duration should be set to 0 for live presentations whose approximate duration is not known in advance. |
IsLive |
(Optional) Specifies when the attribute value is, "true" (case-insensitive) that this manifest describes a live presentation that is still in progress. When this attribute is set to "true" the duration is interpreted as an approximation, and it is permissible for the presentation to end before or after the expected duration (for instance, if a sports event goes into "overtime"). For On-Demand presentations, this attribute should be omitted. |
LookaheadCount |
(Optional) Specifies the number of fragments in a lookahead. |
DVRWindowLength |
(Optional) Specifies the length of the trailing window for a 24/7 broadcast. |
