Updates

Core Player

• Added support for TTML captions with DASH streams.
• Added a new localization option, localization.copied. The word “Copied” appears as default text whenever a viewer clicks on the link option in the sharing menu. This new option can be used to customize or translate that text.
• Improved readability of the live/not live indicator. Instead of an SVG icon, the word “Live” is now plain text, which can be localized with localization.liveBroadcast.
• Updated the default text for localization.liveBroadcast from “Live Broadcast” to “Live.”

Fixes

Core Player

• Fixed an issue with DASH streams where the correctly labeled captions track did not work and an internal text track labeled “Shaka Player TextTrack” was being shown in the menu.
• Improved the spacing between the current time and local time in Edge browsers.
• Fixed an issue where the play button was not perfectly center-aligned at low breakpoints.
• Fixed an issue where the play display icon appeared when transitioning between media instead of the buffer icon.

Known issues

• DASH streams encoded with gaps may buffer indefinitely in IE and Edge.
