Hello all,

we are pleased to announce that version 4.5.1 of dash.js has officially been released.

A big thank you to all the contributors that made this possible

The release info can be found here:

Features

    • Separate playbackRate into a min and max value. This means the application of rates can be the same between ServiceDescription and dash.js settings.
    • Applies playback rates of value 1.0 if explicitly set.
    • Modify catch-up algorithms to take into account these separate playback rate values.
    • Update sample to take into account min and max playback rate values.
  • #4018 Separate settings matcher to work on each property provided for initial track selection individually
