Customizing Playback via Parameters

Identifies the name of the application key that will be used to decrypt the digital signature.

Upon including this parameter, the signed playback URL will only work with an application key.

Use the following syntax when defining an application key name:

Example (Current Implementation):

Example (Legacy Implementation):

Live Streaming Only

Allows a ts parameter to be appended to a signed playback URL. Use this parameter to allow scrubbingRefers to the process of jumping to a specific point in a video. This is typically performed through the player's timeline to either jump forwards or backwards through a video. though a video.

Key information:

• Appending a ts parameter to a signed playback URL has the following effect:

  • HLS: If a playback session is passed in the playback URL via the pbs parameter, then the existing playback session will be reset.

  • DASH: If a playback session is passed in the playback URL via the pbs parameter, then the player will be unable to playback the video. Therefore, it is important to remove the pbs parameter when scrubbing through video.

Example:

Set this parameter to 0 to only display the language tracks that have been embedded within the asset.

Learn more.

Example:

If your asset contains an English track and an ad contains a Spanish track, then a viewer may only select English when viewing either your main content or that ad.

Set to 1 to include Dolby Digital Plus (DD+) tracks in the manifest file generated for this playback request. If this playback parameter is missing, then only AAC tracks will be served.

DD+ setup also requires encoding audio as DD+ via the audio_dolby_# parameter (Live Slicer) or the dolby switch (Slicer).

Example:

Determines the length of time, in seconds, that the system will wait after initial video ingest before constructing the playback window. This time period is known as artificial latency.

Use this parameter to adjust for time zones by introducing an artificial delay (e.g., delay=7200) or to reduce total latency (e.g., delay=20).

Default value: -1

By default, latencyIndicates the delay between the capture of the source video and when it is displayed to the viewer. is approximately 60 to 66 seconds.

Example:

Adds a Dynamic Manifest Marker (DMM) to the top of a manifest file.

first_segment_url

Set it to first_segment_url to add a first segment URL DMM to the top of a manifest file. This DMM indicates the URL for the first segment in the manifest file.

Use a first segment URL DMM to find out playback details. For example, you can use it find out the CDN responsible for delivering this segment. This information is useful when working with native players (e.g., Safari) that do not provide easy access to this data.

Example:

timeline

Set it to timeline to add a timeline DMM to the top of a manifest file for Smartstart-enabled assets.

Learn more.

Add timeline metadata for any virtual linear playlist by combining this parameter with the pltl query string parameter.

Example:

Identifies the current user using a custom ID (i.e., external user ID). This ID is passed to ad decision systems and included in many logging messages.

This string value should consist of:

• 100 characters or less.
• Alphanumeric characters, underscores, or dashes.

Our system does not interpret or modify this value.

Example:

Identifies a comma-separated list of expansion parameters.

Sign the playback URL using the expand parameter name / value pair instead of the set of parameters that it represents.

An expansion parameter shortens the length of the playback URL, hides parameters from viewers, and facilitates the adjustment of parameters across multiple live channels, live events, or assets.

How do I configure expansion parameters?

1. Navigate to the Parameter Expansion page.
2. Under the Parameter option, define a name for the expansion parameter.

3. Under the Expanded Parameters option, define the set of parameters that will be associated with the expansion parameter.

   Syntax:

   Parameter1=Value&Parameter2=Value&ParameterN=Value
4. Click Save.

This capability does not support the following parameters:

• linearv
• jsonp
• pbs
• skip_drm
• oid
• ‘start’ and ‘stop’ for channel schedules
• stageplayer

View example.

A typical playback URL consists of the following parameters:

rays=efgabcd&delay=7200&ad=myads&ad.access_level=1&ad.flex=0&ad.adUnit=midroll&...

Instead of always specifying the above parameters, create the following expansion parameters:

Expansion Parameter	Value
playback_01	rays=efgabcd&delay=7200
ad_01	ad=myads&ad.access_level=1&ad.flex=0&ad.adUnit=midroll

Use the following expand parameter to achieve the same functionality:

expand=ad_01,playback_01

Set to 1 to include a playlist that only contains I-framesIntra-frame. This type of frame is a full picture snapshot and it does not rely on other frames (i.e., P-frames and B-frames)..

Key information:

• Your player may leverage this I-frame playlist to support trick mode. Trick mode allows playback at different speeds.
• An I-frame playlist will only be generated if your encoding profile supports it. Please contact your account manager to upgrade to an encoding profile that supports I-frames.

• HLS: An I-frame playlist is automatically included when using protocol version 4 or higher.

  Set this parameter to 0 to prevent an I-frame playlist from being generated.

  Learn more (HLS Authoring Specification for Apple Devices - section Trick Play).

• DASH: This parameter is required to generate an I-frame playlist.

  Learn more (Guidelines for Implementation: DASH-IF Interoperability Points - section 3.2.9).

Example:

Limits the maximum frames per second (FPS) to the specified value. RaysA stream with a specific quality configuration based on set bit rate and resolution targets. Each ray is divided into slices. with a higher frame rate will be removed from the manifest.

Use this parameter to remove rays from a playback session for a player that cannot support higher frame rates.

Example:

Prevent rays with a frame rate of 60 FPS or higher from being included in the manifest served for this playback session:

Determines whether the manifest response leverages cross-origin resource sharing (CORS). Valid values are:

• 0: Allows requests from any site by excluding the access-control-allow-credentials response header and setting the following response header:

  access-control-allow-origin: *

• 1: Leverages CORS via the following response headers:

  access-control-allow-credentials: true

  access-control-allow-origin: ReferrerIdentifies the referrer for the manifest request.

Default values: 

• HLS: 0
• DASH: 1

Uniquely identifies a viewer. Use this parameter along with the up.max_concurrent_sessions parameter to limit the number of concurrent sessions that may be launched by the current playback URL.

It is your responsibility to uniquely identify each viewer. Legitimate viewers may be prevented from playing your content when the same identifier is shared between multiple viewers.

Example:

Assign a unique identifier (i.e., joe-smith-001) to the playback URL:

Set the Playlist Timeline parameter to 1 to add a timeline Dynamic Manifest Marker for the assets defined within your virtual linear playlist.

Learn more.

This could lead to a large timeline when your playlist contains multiple assets or when there are many ad breaks between assets.

This parameter requires the dmm.schemas.top query string parameter.

Example:

Set the Playlist Timestamp parameter to the desired seek position within your virtual linear playlist. This position is measured from the start of the playlist in seconds.

Learn more.

Only content counts towards seek times. Specifically, ad breaks are excluded from this calculation.

This parameter is exempt from digital signatures.

Example:

Seek 5 minutes into the playlist:

Tracks the playback of linear and/or on-demand content by tagging it with an organizational group or a category (e.g., MyChannel). This case-sensitive value may consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters, dashes, and underscores.

Although tracking data is logged, it is currently inaccessible. However, it will eventually be exposed via log data.

If this parameter has not been defined in the playback URL, then content playback will be tracked under the unknown category.

Restricts playback to the raysA stream with a specific quality configuration based on set bit rate and resolution targets. Each ray is divided into slices. that correspond to the given range of bitrates. Specify this range from low to high in Kbps.

Syntax:

Key information:

• Omit either the starting or ending value to extend the range to 0 or infinity, respectively.

  Example:

  Use the following range to restrict playback to rays that correspond to 600 Kbps or higher:

  rates=600-
• This parameter is ignored when the rays parameter has been defined in the playback URL.

• You may use one or more of the following parameters:

  rates | resolution

  Playback will be restricted to the set of rays that satisfy all of the parameters defined in the playback URL.

  Restricting rays may adversely impact adaptive streaming capabilities. Additionally, you may inadvertently break playback when rays are unavailable due to the parameters defined in the playback URL.

Default behavior: All rays are allowed. By default, our system suggests that clients play the d or e ray.

Example:

Cap playback to 1 Mbps:

Restricts playback to the specified raysA stream with a specific quality configuration based on set bit rate and resolution targets. Each ray is divided into slices.. Specify the letter corresponding to each desired ray.

Key information:

• Restricting rays may adversely impact adaptive streaming capabilities.
• The letter a represents the lowest quality ray.
• The order in which rays are listed provides a hint to the player as to which ray it should try when initiating playback. Listing a lower ray first will force playback to start at a low quality, while listing a higher ray first will suggest that playback start at a higher ray. A player may still opt to use a lower ray when network conditions are poor.
• Our system ignores a character when a corresponding ray doesn't exist.

Default behavior: All rays are allowed. By default, our system suggests that clients play the d or e ray.

The a ray is usually excluded on non-iOS platforms, since this ray is extremely low quality and only exists because the Apple AppStore requires it.

Example:

Prevent access to rays higher than d:

Identifies the replacement plugin that will be loaded.

Restricts playback to the raysA stream with a specific quality configuration based on set bit rate and resolution targets. Each ray is divided into slices. that correspond to the given range of resolutions. Specify this range from low to high using shorthand numbers (e.g., 480, 720, and 1080).

Syntax:

Key information:

• Omit either the starting or ending value to extend the range to 0 or infinity, respectively.

  Example:

  Use the following range to restrict playback to rays that correspond to 720p or higher:

  resolutions=720-
• This parameter is ignored when the rays parameter has been defined in the playback URL.

• You may use one or more of the following parameters:

  rates | resolution

  Playback will be restricted to the set of rays that satisfy all of the parameters defined in the playback URL.

  Restricting rays may adversely impact adaptive streaming capabilities. Additionally, you may inadvertently break playback when rays are unavailable due to the parameters defined in the playback URL.

Default behavior: All rays are allowed. By default, our system suggests that clients play the d or e ray.

Example:

Cap playback to 720p:

Omitting this parameter allows playback without ads.

Example:

Tags a playback session for the purpose of tracking ad insertion data. Set this parameter to the desired tag.

Example:

Prevents ads from exceeding an ad break's duration. Valid values are:

Passing this parameter also affects how ad break duration is calculated. Specifically, it reduces the duration of the ad break by the number of seconds that the current playback session is behind playback delay.

Learn more about ad break duration adjustments.

chop

Switches over to content upon reaching an ad break's adjusted duration.

Once the ad break's adjusted duration is reached, the stream will cut back over to content regardless of whether that causes the ad to only be partially played.

An ad may extend slightly beyond an ad break.
Learn more.

Syntax:

drop

Drops ads that exceed the adjusted ad break duration. If the ad break's requested duration has been exceeded, then the stream will cut back over to content. Otherwise, slate will be played until the end of the ad break.

Slate may extend slightly beyond an ad break.
Learn more.

Syntax:

Multiple asset playback URLs only

Defines the asset ID that will be sent to an ad decision server.

Default behavior: Our system sends the ID of the first asset listed in the playback URL to the ad decision server. Use this parameter to send a different asset ID to the ad decision server.

Set this parameter to 1 to enable the Ping API.

Example:

Set this parameter to the number of seconds that an ad break may extend beyond an ad break's duration.

Use this parameter to introduce flexibility for the enforcement of ad.breakend's chop and drop modes.

Syntax:

Default value: 4 seconds

Learn more.

Defines the key-value pairs that will be sent to the ad decision server. Use commas to separate keys and values.

Example:

Pass ad decision server-specific parameters to the ad decision server.

This parameter requires the ad parameter.

The ad. prefix is removed from the name that is passed to the ad decision server when acquiring ads for playback. In the following example, our system will pass the account and ctxid parameters to the ad decision server.

Example:

Set this parameter to the name of the Prebid configuration that identifies your Prebid server and provides bidding instructions.

Learn more.

Syntax:

Example:

Manually forces an asset to be reported as an ad in the asset_play_started event (push logs).

This parameter is unnecessary when the system automatically inserts ads.

This parameter is useful when ads are managed and inserted by an external system, since it allows our push logs to reflect that the asset was played back as an ad.
