Class: shaka.media.SegmentPrefetch

This class manages segment prefetch operations. Called by StreamingEngine to prefetch next N segments ahead of playhead, to reduce the chances of rebuffering.

Constructor

new SegmentPrefetch(prefetchLimit, stream, fetchDispatcher)

Returns:
Type
string

abortPrefetchedSegment_(referencenon-null)

Remove a segment from prefetch map and abort it.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
reference shaka.media.SegmentReference | shaka.media.InitSegmentReference
Source:

clearAll()

Clear all segment data.
Source:

clearInitSegments_()

Remove all init segments that don't have associated segments in the segment prefetch map. By default, with delete on get, the init segments should get removed as they are used. With deleteOnGet set to false, we need to clear them every so often once the segments that are associated with each init segment is no longer prefetched.
Source:

clearMap_()

evict(time, clearInitSegmentsopt)

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
time number
clearInitSegments boolean <optional>
false

Returns:
Type
number

getPrefetchedSegment(referencenon-null, streamDataCallbacknullable) → {shaka.net.NetworkingEngine.PendingRequest}

Get the result of prefetched segment if already exists.
Parameters:

Returns:
op
Type
shaka.net.NetworkingEngine.PendingRequest

getStream() → {shaka.extern.Stream}

Get the current stream.
Source:
Returns:
Type
shaka.extern.Stream

prefetchInitSegment(initSegmentReferencenon-null)

Fetch init segment.
Parameters:
