changeType method

void changeType(
  1. String type
)

The changeType() method of the SourceBuffer interface sets the MIME type that future calls to SourceBuffer.appendBuffer should expect the new media data to conform to. This makes it possible to change codecs or container type mid-stream.

One scenario in which this is helpful is to support adapting the media source to changing bandwidth availability, by transitioning from one codec to another as resource constraints change.

Implementation

external void changeType(String type);
