MPEG-DASH MPD parser

Overview

This module is a simple MPEG-DASH MPD manifest parser for multiple purposes. This module is using xml-js module to convert an XML formatted MPD manifest file to a JSON object so that you can easily handle MPEG-DASH MPD elements for your manifest parser/manipulation applications.

As of now, there is one pre-defined functions in this DashMPD class for manipulation. Some built-in functions for standard and/or popular manifest manipulation will be implemented in this class sooon.

Usage

Loading & Configuring modules: ES Modules (ESM)

import { DashMPD } from '@liveinstantly/dash-mpd-parser';

const your_manifest_xml_string = '...';
const mpd = new DashMPD();
mpd.parse(your_manifest_xml_string);

// For example, using a built-in function, "filterVideoRenditionByBandwidth", to filter video renditions with bandwidth
const bwRanges: [number, number][] = [
    [ 600000, 2000000],
    [4000000, 5000000],
];
mpd.filterVideoRenditionByBandwidth(bwRanges);

let mpdJson = mpd.getJSON();
// Operate MPD manifest JSON object (mpd.mpd) for your manifest manipulation
mpd.setJSON(mpdJson);

// Get XML DASH MPD manifest after operation
const mpdXml = mpd.getMPD();
console.log(mpdXml);

JSON object of MPEG-DASH MPD manifest

Here is a sample JSON object for a sample MPD file.
