Hello everyone.

I'm currently evaluating alternatives to the DashIF player for DASH live stream playback.
When I'm pasting my manifest url to the custom field in the shaka demo it instantly fails with the error 5005: INVALID_STREAMS_CHOSEN.
The stream works well under the DashIF player and Exoplayer on Android, so I don't think that there is something wrong with it.

The player does not request anything but the manifest file. I am attaching one to this thread.

Do you have any idea what could cause the error?

Much thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

This looks like a bug to me.  The INVALID_STREAMS_CHOSEN error seems to be a red herring, though.  If you open the JS console, you see three errors:  MANIFEST.RESTRICTIONS_CANNOT_BE_MET, "init: no Streams chosen", and STREAMING.INVALID_STREAMS_CHOSEN.

The real error seems to be RESTRICTIONS_CANNOT_BE_MET.  After that occurs, there should be no additional errors masking that one.  So we need to fix it so that the real error is the one you see.

Second, we need to determine why that error is being thrown.  It's not clear why there should be any restrictions on this content at all.

Please file this as a bug on github.  Usually we need a manifest URL where we can access the content.  An attached manifest only gets us so far, since we have no way to fetch the actual content.

If you can't share the URL publicly for some reason, you can send me a private email with the URL.  It's always better to share publicly when you can, though, as it gives the entire community better visibility into the bug.

Thanks,
Joey

Hi Joey.

Thanks for the reply.
I'll see what I can do about the actual content URL. Its token protected and only accessible for some minutes, so even sharing it privately would not be very useful.
I will look into the uncompiled version first. Maybe I can find the bug.

Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I believe I've been able to isolate the issue using your attached manifest only.  I'll go ahead and file something with a reference to this conversation.

Thanks,
Joey
