  1. Hi!

    I've been watching some live TV using some dash player lately. Until now, everything I watched was live.

    However, the services that I'm watching actually allows the user to go back and watch the current live content from the beginning: so the video source is live, but with a player that supports it it is possible to go back to any point in the past (up to X hours).

    These services provide a mpd file, and this 'replay' is provided via a SegmentTimeline section in the mpd file: I know that it works because I can watch this using third party website which accept the mpd as source, and they allow me to go back as the official website.

    All the software I have for PC or Android does not allow me to do this, they just show me the current live show.

    So, the question is: is there any player/OTT service which allows me to make use of the SegmentTimeline?

    I can also just use the websites (jwplayer stuff) which allow me to do this, but of course a native service (even via an OTT) would be better.

    Thanks!

  3. I think the iMPlayer IPTV Player app has that option, but I don't remember if it is in both versions, since this app has a phone and TV version.
