Browsers SDK 1.x to Browsers and Connected TV SDK 5.x Migration Guide

The migration path will have minimal impact on your deployment as the SDKs have parity between them, and the APIs are almost identical. HLS and FairPlay Streaming capabilities in the Safari browser are completely unchanged. The only differences will relate to DASH-related features, as the change in the underlying DASH player engine offers great improvements in configurability and capability. Any notable differences will be highlighted here.

Name of distributed files

The first and most obvious change is the files you need to integrate are now prefixed with opy-sdk-js-. However, existing naming conventions are maintained for the various deliverable artefacts.

Resolution and bitrate capping

See the Resolution and bitrate capping feature for details of the increased functionality and the API change.

Changes for opy-sdk-js from version 5.17.0

For details of migrating from releases prior to 5.17.0 onwards, see Migrating to 5.17.0 from earlier releases for details.
