function sourceOpen (_) { //console.log(this.readyState); // open var mediaSource = this; var sourceBuffer = mediaSource.addSourceBuffer(mimeCodec); fetchAB(assetURL, function (buf) { sourceBuffer.addEventListener('updateend', function (_) { mediaSource.endOfStream(); console.log(mediaSource.activeSourceBuffers); // will contain the source buffer that was added above, // as it is selected for playing in the video player video.play(); //console.log(mediaSource.readyState); // ended }); sourceBuffer.appendBuffer(buf); }); }; ...
