	{
	console.log(e);
	}

Remark :

Adaptive streaming using TS container (for e.g. HLS) with audio sample rate changing across variants may cause audio loss.

seekTo

Skips playback to a specific timestamp.
For HTTP streaming, this method is successful even when the specified timestamp is invalid. The internal player automatically resets an out-of-range value to an in-range one.


void seekTo(long milliseconds, optional SuccessCallback? successCallback, optional ErrorCallback? errorCallback);

Product : TV, AV_BD

Parameters:

milliseconds: Timestamp to skip to
successCallback: Callback method to invoke when the call is successful
errorCallback: Callback method to invoke when an error occurs

Constraint

Can be called in the following states: "IDLE","READY", "PLAYING" (buffered data is flushed and buffering starts over), "PAUSED".
During this async operation, the other API would not be allowed. So, the application needs to wait for one of both callbacks( SuccessCallback, errorCallback) before any other API call.
For LIVE stream case, seek position must be within DVR range. DVR range could be retrieved using GET_LIVE_DURATION property in getStreamingProperty API.

Exceptions:

WebAPIException
- with error type TypeMismatchError, if an input parameter is not compatible with its expected type.
- with error type NotSupportedError, if this feature is not supported.
- with error type InvalidValuesError, if any input parameter contains an invalid value.

try {
	webapis.avplay.seekTo(10000,successCallback, errorCallback);
	}
	catch (e)
	{
		console.log(e);
	}
// for live cases, get the live duration as :
var StartTime = webapis.avplay.getStreamingProperty("GET_LIVE_DURATION").split('|')[0];
var EndTime = webapis.avplay.getStreamingProperty("GET_LIVE_DURATION").split('|')[1];
// seekpoint must be between StartTime and Endtime.

setBufferingParam

Sets the buffer size for the play and resume scenarios. The time buffer size must be at least 4 seconds.
For example, If a 10 second buffer size is set, playback can only start or resume after 10 seconds of media has accumulated in the buffer.
Play scenarios include user-initiated streaming playback and whenever media playback is starting for the first time.
Resume scenarios include resuming playback after pause or seek operations, or when lack of data causes playback rebuffering.


void setBufferingParam(AVPlayBufferOption option, AVPlayBufferSizeUnit unit, unsigned long amount);

Product : TV, AV_BD

Parameters

option: "PLAYER_BUFFER_FOR_PLAY" or "PLAYER_BUFFER_FOR_RESUME"
unit: "PLAYER_BUFFER_SIZE_IN_BYTE" or "PLAYER_BUFFER_SIZE_IN_SECOND"
amount: Data amount to be buffered, in bytes or seconds as specified by the unit parameter

Constraint

Can be called in the following states: "IDLE"

Exceptions:

WebAPIException
- with error type TypeMismatchError, if an input parameter is not compatible with its expected type.

bPrepare: Optional boolean. false (default): Player sets the resume behavior automatically. true: Player does not resume automatically. The application must invoke the prepare and play methods.
For live streaming, this parameter is not meaningful. Do not pass true for this parameter.
For DRM-encrypted content playback: if the DRM session has expired, pass true for this parameter.

Constraint

Can be called in the following states: "NONE", "PLAYING", "PAUSED"

Exceptions:

WebAPIException
- with error type TypeMismatchError, if an input parameter is not compatible with its expected type.
- with error type NotSupportedError, if this feature is not supported.
- with error type InvalidValuesError, if any input parameter contains an invalid value.
- with error type InvalidStateError, if it is called in an invalid state.
- with error type UnknownError, for any other error.

Code example:


document.addEventListener("visibilitychange", function() 
{
  if(document.hidden)
  {
    // Something you want to do when application is paused
    console.log("lifecycle [pause]");
    webapis.avplay.suspend();
  }
  else
  {
    // Something you want to do when application is resumed
    console.log("lifecycle [resume]");
    webapis.avplay.restore(url, 0, false);
  }
});

restoreAsync

During multitasking, restores the player state when the application is resumed.restoreAsync is an asynchronous interface.
Other API, restore is a synchronous interface which blocks the application thread. This method is preferred over restore because it returns immediately and does not block the application thread during its restoration.
When player is restored successful, the success callback is returned and player resumed the playback from the restored playback position, state, properties etc. If restoration fails, the error callback returns the error value.
Application is required to make further calls to avplay on its success or failure callback happens.
For live streaming or DRM-encrypted content playback, you must check whether the streaming URL has changed or the DRM session or license has expired, and specify the new URL and DRM information as needed.


void restoreAsync(DOMString URL, optional unsigned long? resumeTime, optioanl boolean? bPrepare, optional SuccessCallback? successCallback, optional ErrorCallback? errorCallback);

Product : TV, AV_BD

Parameters

URL: updated URL after suspend. If null, the stored URL is used.
For live streaming or DRM-encrypted content playback, in case the URL has changed or the DRM license or session has expired, checking for and passing the newest URL is recommended.
resumeTime: (milliseconds) Optional. Position from which to resume playback. If 0, the stored position is used. For live streaming, this parameter is not meaningful. Do not pass 0 for this parameter. For DRM-encrypted content playback, if the DRM session has expired, to recreate the playback pipeline, pass 0 for this parameter.
bPrepare: Optional boolean. false (default): Player sets the resume behavior automatically. true: Player does not resume automatically. The application must invoke the prepare and play methods.
For live streaming, this parameter is not meaningful. Do not pass true for this parameter.
For DRM-encrypted content playback: if the DRM session has expired, pass true for this parameter.
successCallback: Callback method to invoke when the call is successful
errorCallback: Callback method to invoke when an error occurs

Constraint

Can be called in the following states: "NONE", "PLAYING", "PAUSED"
