NanoPlayer - Release Overview

Please find more about the media error recovery feature in our documentation

[4.10.4]

Release Notes

This version implements an automatic recovery workflow for certain media errors that can occure during playback. Recoverable errors are 3003, 3100 and 1008. The allowed number of recoveries within 60 seconds (default: 3) can be customized by the new config parameter playback.mediaErrorRecoveries. Further the support of the native HTMLMediaElement attribute crossOrigin is added and can be set via the new config parameter playback.crossOrigin. The values can be 'anonymous', 'use-credentials' and 'not-set' (default).

Part of this release are minor adjustments for metrics and an improvement of the Mac OS version detection. Also an issue with the interaction of the style.keepFrame and the style.poster (since 4.9.1) functionality is fixed. Now after a pause the last frame will be kept instead of displaying the poster image with keepFrame enabled.
