streaming mpeg-dash

[Alexander Yanin]

I have compiled mp4dashmux and dashsink from Thiago Sousa Santos git repos
and tried a pipeline with them like this:

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc is-live=true ! timeoverlay ! x264enc !
mp4dashmux fragment-method=1 ! dashsink is-live=true delete-old-files=true
title="manifest"

This pipeline starts successfully, produces a manifest file and m4s
fragments as expected. Then I have created a simple html with a video tag
and linked dash js library to this html to play my dash stream. I have
tried to open this html (served on http server) in Chrome, Firefox and
Epiphany. Only Epiphany was able to play the stream. Firefox and Chrome
gave similar error:
Firefox says: Cannot play media. No decoders for requested formats:
application/dash+xml, video/mp4;codecs="undefined"
Chrome says: videoCodec (video/mp4;codecs="undefined") is not supported.
I hope that the problem is with codecs="undefined" property produced by
dashsink. I think that this issue can be easily fixed if this is a reason.

However, I have another issue. My pipeline doesn't erase old files. Even if
is set 'is-live' and 'delete-old-files' properties to true in dashsink, the
number of fragments is constantly increasing. First file in playlist
doesn't change from 'fragment_0' in my manifest file too. So, when I
refresh my browser, I always have my stream played from the very beginning
(it is easy to detect as i have timeoverlay plugin inserted into the
pipeline). What am I doing wrong with this? Is deleting of old files works
correctly in current version of dashsink?
