RESTRICTIONS_CANNOT_BE_MET 4012 number There exist some streams that could be decoded, but restrictions imposed by the application or the key system prevent us from playing. This may happen under the following conditions:
  • The application has given restrictions to the Player that restrict at least one content type completely (e.g. no playable audio).

INDEXED_DB_ERROR 9001 number An unknown error occurred in the IndexedDB.
On Firefox, one common source for UnknownError calls is reverting Firefox to an old version. This makes the IndexedDB storage inaccessible for older versions. The only way to fix this is to delete the storage data in your profile. See https://mzl.la/2yCGWCm
error.data[0] is the error object.
DEPRECATED_OPERATION_ABORTED 9002 number The storage operation was aborted. Deprecated in favor of more general OPERATION_ABORTED.

INDEXED_DB_INIT_TIMED_OUT 9017 number When attempting to open an indexedDB instance, nothing happened for long enough for us to time out. This keeps the storage mechanism from hanging indefinitely, if neither the success nor error callbacks are called.
CS_IMA_SDK_MISSING 10000 number CS IMA SDK, required for ad insertion, has not been included on the page.
CS_AD_MANAGER_NOT_INITIALIZED 10001 number Client Side Ad Manager needs to be initialized to enable Client Side Ad Insertion. Call adManager.initClientSide() to do it.

Name Value Type Description
RECOVERABLE 1 number An error occurred, but the Player is attempting to recover from the error. If the Player cannot ultimately recover, it still may not throw a CRITICAL error. For example, retrying for a media segment will never result in a CRITICAL error (the Player will just retry forever).
CRITICAL 2 number A critical error that the library cannot recover from. These usually cause the Player to stop loading or updating. A new manifest must be loaded to reset the library.
