The following are the limitations of DASH in the current Avalanche:

  • Initialization Segment,Bitstream Switching Segment, and Index Segment will only be downloaded once in one representation.
     
  • Segments including Media Segment, Initialization Segment, Index Segment, and Bitstream Switching Segment will not be parsed.
     
  •  Sub-representation is not supported.
     
  • Content protection is not supported.
     
  •  Remote elements referenced by xlink:href attributes are ignored.
