Hello,

I am currently playing a live channel using DASH and for additional security, I am adding some search parameters to the new manifest requests. As a response to the manifest request, I receive new segments and a new token parameter within the media object. However, while the ts chunks are being downloaded, the token parameter appended to the media chunks from the initial manifest request is still being used.

In short:

1. I am using Shaka Player to play a live DASH stream.
2. I add some search parameters (e.g., st, ts, e) to new manifest requests.
3. The server returns a new manifest with updated st tokens within the SegmentTemplate elements.
   However, Shaka Player continues to use the old st tokens from the initial manifest request when downloading segment chunks.
   How can I ensure that Shaka Player uses the new st tokens for segment chunks after a new manifest is loaded? What would be the best approach to solve this issue?

You are using an unsupported and very old version. I'm sure this has been resolved in newer versions, can you try 4.10.2? Thanks!

Hello, I upgraded the Shaka version to 4.10.2 as you suggested, but the problem is still not fixed. Even though a new MPD request is made, it continues to read the old manifest file.

Can you send your manifest url to test it?

[baturays]

Hello, this manifest URL is closed to the outside due to company policy and cannot be accessed externally.

Maybe if you can provide me with a sample content, I can test it on my end to see if the transition works correctly.
