[mythtv-users] Browser Player for Mythweb (using MPEG DASH packaging)

[Garret McGraw]

Yeah, this might work.  The only thing to keep in mind is that I had to
change the DASH manifest from a "live" profile manifest to an "ondemand"
profile manifest but still maintain the "dynamic" manifest type so that it
will playable during the transcoding process (see line 300 in index.php for
my sed replace).  This is something that shaka-player explicitly supports
(they call it "in-progress recording") but I'm not sure if other DASH
players will be quite as happy with it.  You may be able to make the
chromecast app use shaka-player, which would solve this potential issue (if
it doesn't already).  I do think shaka-player supports playing on
Chromecast if you configure it correctly.

Let me know if I can help.
