Shaka Player

Shaka Player is a web-based video player that can be opened in any supported web browser. Use Shaka Player to verify that a web browser that supports HTML5 or a Chromecast device is able to play back Dolby Digital Plus bitstreams.

When playing back a test signal in a web browser that does not support Dolby Digital Plus correctly, the video plays properly but the audio is muted.

Note: Currently, this test application supports these web browsers only: Safari 14.1 (Catalina) (macOS 10.15.7) and Microsoft Edge.
