[vlc-devel] What's the best framwork to implement the DASH module in VLC

[Christopher Mueller]

Hi Yunhui Fu,

sounds nice I would be curious to see the code ;). MPEG is currently 
specifying DASH 2nd Edition including a corrigendum and updates which is 
now FDIS and will be ready soon. The updates are already part of the 
reference software and available under [1] so you should probably also 
consider these changes and include them into your software.

Best Regards,
Chris
