Overriding channels in aamp.cfg aamp.cfg allows to map channels to custom urls as follows
*<Token> <Custom url>
This will make aamp tune to the when ever aamp gets tune request to any url with in it.
Example adding the following in aamp.cfg will make tune to the given url (Spring_4Ktest) on tuning to url with USAHD in it This can be done for n number of channels.
*USAHD https://example.com/manifest.mpd
*FXHD https://example.com/manifest2.mpd
To enable Westeros
Currently, use of Westeros is default-disabled, and can be enabled via RFC. To apply, Developers can add below flag in SetEnv.sh under /opt, then restart the receiver process:
export AAMP_ENABLE_WESTEROS_SINK=true
Note: Above is now used as a common FLAG by AAMP and Receiver module to configure Westeros direct rendering instead of going through browser rendering. This allows for smoother video zoom animations
However, note that with this optimization applied, the AAMP Diagnostics overlays cannot be made visible. As a temporary workaround, the following flag can be used by developers which will make diagnostic overlay again visible at expense of zoom smoothness:
export DISABLE_NONCOMPOSITED_WEBGL_FOR_IPVIDEO=1
CLI-specific commands:
<enter> dump currently available profiles
help show usage notes
http://... tune to specified URL
<number> tune to specified channel (based on canned aamp channel map)
next tune to next virtual channel
prev tune to previous virtual channel
seek <sec> time-based seek within current content (stub)
ff <speed> set desired trick speed to <speed>, i.e. ff8 for 8x playback using iframe track
rew <speed> set desired trick speed to <speed>, i.e. rew8 for -8x playback using iframe track
stop stop streaming
status dump gstreamer state
rect Set video rectangle. eg. rect 0 0 640 360
zoom <val> Set video zoom mode. mode "none" if val is zero, else mode "full"
pause Pause playback
play Resume playback
live Seek to live point
exit Gracefully exit application
sap <lang> Select alternate audio language track.
bps <val> Set video bitrate in bps
fog <url|host=ip:port> 'fog url' tune to arbitrary locator via fog. 'fog host=ip:port' set fog location (default: 127.0.0.1:9080)
adtesting Toggle indexed ad insertion that does NOT check for any duration match
advert <params>
advert map <adBreakId> <url>
specify ad locator to present instead of source content during specified ad break
note: multiple sequential ads can be mapped to fill a single ad break by calling advert map multiple times with same adBreakId
advert clear (clear current advert map)
advert list (display the advert list)
new <name> create a new player instance with optional name
select <val|name> move player val or name to foreground. With no option list all players
detach move current foreground player to background
release <val|name> delete detached player val or name

vr = version of video end event (currently "2.0")
tt = time to reach top profile first time after tune. Provided initial tune bandwidth is not a top bandwidth
ta = time at top profile. This includes all the fragments which are downloaded/injected at top profile for total duration of playback.
d = duration - estimate of total playback duration. Note that this is based on fragments downloaded/injected - user may interrupt buffered playback with seek/stop, causing estimates to skew higher in edge cases.
dn = Download step-downs due to bad Network bandwidth
de = Download step-downs due to Error handling ramp-down/retry logic
rc = Rate corrections made in player to catch up live latency
w = Display Width : value > 0 = Valid Width.. value -1 means HDMI display resolution could NOT be read successfully. Only for HDMI Display else wont be available.
h = Display Height : value > 0 = Valid Height, value -1 means HDMI display resolution could NOT be read successfully. Only for HDMI Display else wont be available.
t = indicates that FOG time shift buffer (TSB) was used for playback
m = main manifest
v = video Profile
i = Iframe Profile
a1 = audio track 1
a2 = audio track 2
a3 = audio track 3
...
u = Unknown Profile or track type
l = supported languages,
In version 2.0, same tag is reused to represent download latency report if it appears under 'n' or 'i' or 'ms'(See their representations below).
p = profile-specific metrics encapsulation
w = profile frame width
h = profile frame height
ls = license statistics
ms = manifest statistics
fs = fragment statistics
r = total license rotations / stream switches
e = encrypted to clear switches
c = clear to encrypted switches
in version 1.0,
4 = HTTP-4XX error count
5 = HTTP-5XX error count
t = CURL timeout error count
c = CURL error count (other)
s = successful download count
in version 2.0
S = Session summary
200 = http success
18(0) - Curl 18 occurred, network connectivity is down
18(1) = Curl 18 occurred, network connectivity is up
28(0) - Curl 28 occurred, network connectivity is down
28(1) = Curl 28 occurred, network connectivity is up
404, 42, 7, etc.. = http/curl error code occurred during download.
Example : "S":{"200":341,"404":6} - 341 success attempts and 4 attempts with 404
"S":{"200":116,"28(1)":1,"404":114} - 115 success attempts, 114 attempts with 404 and 1 attempt with curl-28

Ty = Latency report in a specific time window, where y represents window number (comes under 'l').
T0 - is 0ms - 250ms window (Window calculations: start = (250ms x y), end = (start + 250ms))
For example : T13 represents window 3250ms - 3500ms (13x250ms = 3250ms).
u = URL of most recent (last) failed download
n = normal fragment statistics
i = "init" fragment statistics (used in case of DASH and fragmented mp4)
pc = Video profile capped status due to resolution constraints or bitrate filtering
