LiveDash

DASH streaming sample

Shows how to create and use the MSEStreamSource class to playback Live DASH content.

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

Live DASH will be supported at a later date within the Adaptive Streaming classes (see AdaptiveStreaming sample).

This sample only supports number-based DASH manifests that are dynamic with a is-offlive DASH profile.

Specifically, this sample covers:

• Parsing a Live DASH manifest
• Downloading segments for streaming
• Using MSEStreamSource to playback those segments
