Description
Use case description
The use case would be to start the dash stream at a specific position.
For example, a dash stream has a duration of 60 minutes, and we want to start the stream at 10 minutes instead of 0 minute.
This avoids having to load the first chunk just to do a player.seekTo() and loading chunks again at the desired position.
Proposed solution
After reading from dash.js repository, they use a #t=600 at the end of the url to notify it should start at 10 minutes.
Alternatives considered
Using player.seekTo()
