Media source api, stream simple mp4
Can we stream simple mp4 using the media source api?
As we can stream the dash/fmp4 using the media source api but I have the simple mp4 h264 video which I want to stream using the media source api.
I know the mp4 can be directly streamed using html tag etc but I am building the adaptive bitrate streaming of simple mp4 h264 files so that is why I want to use the media source api.
Media source api requires the initial segment for dash/fmp4, if the simple mp4 is supported then which initial segment I have to provide? Means the mov atom, mdat etc
As for the next segments I have extracted the i-frame data from the mp4 file, did media source api accepts raw i-frame data without any container?

see this example - tutorialspots.com/… - but, why are you trying to recreate the wheel? If you are doing adaptive bitrate streaming then HLS or MPEG-DASH support (native to browsers or via players like Shaka or Mux) give that to you

Thanks for the help, I can't do because I have the thousands of video and each video have 3 qualities which are 480p, 720p and 1080p. Each quality have the different keyframe position so they can't be adaptive streamed so I have to develop the custom player so it can be adaptive streamed even if the videos have the different keyframe position.

The example which you send is for the fragment mp4. My mp4 videos are simple.

IMO you'd be better off throwing some compute at it now and transcoding the 1080 assets to HLS or Dash and not trying to create a non-standard player which is going to leave you with long term technical debt. ffmpeg can be scripted to churn through the videos locally (and/or you could spin up cloud instances with any provider to get through the work faster)

Thanks for the input, I will transmux the videos to Hls
