Shaka Upgrade Guide, v3

This is a detailed guide for upgrading from any older version of Shaka Player v3 to the current version.

Shaka Player has been keeping strictly with semantic versioning since v3.0.0, so upgrades from any older v3 to the current v3 release should be backward compatible. Any minor exceptions or nuances will be noted here.

  • Ads APIs and UI leveraging Google IMA SDK (included separately by app)
  • Low-latency HLS support
  • Built-in CEA 608/708 decoder (mux.js no longer needed for this)

  • UI overflow menu items now available as control panel buttons
  • Network stall detection
