Dash.js CMCDParameters
Dash.js CMCDParameters
Let’s give control of CMCD to the content delivery teams through the MPD.
To use CMCD on DASH clients, it was necessary to enable CMCD via JavaScript and also set the content ID. Starting from MPEG-DASH 6th edition, it is now possible to describe the desired behavior of DASH players using CMCD parameters. This allows not only the configuration of CMCD but also the ability to dynamically adjust it. For example, when performing Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI), now it's possible to change the content ID for each new period within the MPD.
