Introduction
This page contains information, samples and links to help you use the Akamai Advanced Streaming Plug-in (AASP) for OSMF.
To the right you will find documentation and samples. Below you will find download links for AASP and corresponding HDCore library versions.
* IMPORTANT : If you are statically linking a version of HDCore you must use the version of HDCore the plug-in was built against, which is shown below in the version section. Also, the player needs to use the version of HDCore that excludes OSMF, which can be found inside the HDCore zip file referrenced below.
The HDCore library is NOT required to use the plug-in. HDCore contains a class called AkamaiStrings which contains string constants that can be used to set resource and/or plugin metadata but is not required for playback.

Changes:
- Fixed: Cannot set starting MBR index with media type set to unknown. The "unknown" Akamai media type allows RTMP and Akamai HDN1 content to be wrapped in an f4m manifest. However, the starting index was being ignored for this media type.
- Fixed: Duration is wrong for DVR window streams that are no longer live. This addresses the known issue in previous releases (see Known Issues below in the Version 2.10 release).
- Added: Create separate builds of AASP with logging disabled. For OSMF 2.0, the plugin SWF and the SWC file are now offered with logging disabled.
