I want DASH MPD files to be played and tested on to different DASH supported clients. I have tested with VLC dash plugin. Are there any other players/plugins that supports and plays DASH MPD files?

Answer 1

One client I have experience of is the Helix SDK for Android, which supports MPEG-DASH. This is a commercially licensed and supported client specifically for retro support on Android 2.2 to Android 4.x devices. Interestingly the Helix SDK supports both MPEG-DASH (using MP4) and also HLSv4 to give a mix and match of supporting both competing HTTP streaming technologies or giving you a choice to migrate from HLS to MPEG-DASH using the same code. I have used this in development of Android apps in commercial services.

There are some slides on the web here which provides an insight http://www.slideshare.net/DavidJSmith2/helix-hls-and-mpegdash-sdk-for-android

and more details on the commercial site http://www.realnetworks.com/helix/helix-sdk.aspx

Answer 2

There is now http://www.dash-player.com, which supports Wowza MPDs out of the box, along with other MPDs. It comes with HTML5/JS, as well as a fallback to Adobe Flash. The basic version is free.

Answer 3

There are two more MPEG-DASH players worthy mentioned:

1. MP4Client as part of the GPAC project (Here)
2. Qt Player as part of libdash project (Here)

Both are opensource and have a supporting community.

IMO the GPAC project is better (the other one is pretty new) and I am currently using it for my own MPEG-DASH project.

BTW for the latest VLC Dash plugin you must compile from nighty sources.

Answer 4

See ExoPlayer that support HTTP (DASH), SmoothStreaming, and persistent caching for Android 4.1 (API level 16) and superior.

Answer 5

where did you get vlc dash plugin I cant find it...I am unaware of any available mpeg dash player right now. Supposedly there is a flash version but it is only a prototype and is not available

Answer 6

There is the DASH-IF reference client which uses the Media Source Extensions to play natively in browsers. Currently the only released browser with support is Chrome, but you can test streams in the latest player here. http://dashif.org/reference/players/javascript/

You should be aware there are varying levels of support in the different chrome channe
