Limited availability
Note: This feature is available in Dedicated Web Workers.
The changeType() method of the SourceBuffer interface sets the MIME type that future calls to appendBuffer() should expect the new media data to conform to. This makes it possible to change codecs or container type mid-stream.
One scenario in which this is helpful is to support adapting the media source to changing bandwidth availability, by transitioning from one codec to another as resource constraints change.
Syntax Parameterstype
A string specifying the MIME type that future buffers will conform to.
None (undefined).
TypeError
Thrown if the specified string is empty, rather than indicating a valid MIME type.
InvalidStateError DOMException
Thrown if the SourceBuffer is not a member of the parent media source's sourceBuffers list, or the buffer's updating property indicates that a previously queued appendBuffer() or remove() is still being processed.
NotSupportedError DOMException
Thrown if the specified MIME type is not supported, or is not supported with the types of SourceBuffer objects present in the MediaSource.sourceBuffers list.
If the readyState property of the parent MediaSource is set to "ended", calling changeType() will set the readyState property to "open" and fire an event named sourceopen at the parent media source.
