2.2.1.4.11 max-duration

  • Article

This token specifies the amount of data that the server streams, expressed as a time interval in milliseconds. If the most significant bit of the value is 1, the remaining 31 bits are treated as an absolute duration. If the most significant bit is 0, the remaining 31 bits are treated as the duration relative to the stream-time (section 2.2.1.4.28) token.

The value MUST be an integer in the range from 0 through 4,294,967,295. A value of 0 signifies that the client was unable to determine the connection bandwidth.

If the value is 0 or the value specifies an amount of data that exceeds the largest amount of data that can be streamed for the current content or playlist, the remaining content or playlist MUST be streamed until its end is reached.

This token is defined for use only in requests sent to a server. This token MAY be ignored by the server.<27>

The syntax of the max-duration token is defined as follows.

 max-duration   = "max-duration=" 1*10DIGIT

Example for absolute duration:

 Pragma: max-duration=1000
