Which browsers support DASH playback?
While all modern browsers support HTML5 <video> elements, many details of
its implementation are still in flux. As a result, support for specific codecs,
MSE, EME, DRM options, profiles, players etc. differs per browser, release,
configuration and operating system.
We currently recommend testing with the latest DASH-IF reference player, or Google's Shaka player.
Chrome
Make sure the following settings (available under chrome://flags) are configured:
Disable |
|
Enable |
|
Disable |
The DASH-IF reference player works well with Windows and the Chrome, Edge or Firefox browsers. Google also supplies Shaka player.
See DASH demonstration for a demo using the players above.
