The Streaming API provides functions for streaming playback and buffering controlling.

Overview

The streaming API allows you to set and get various properties to setup network connection and control buffering scheme:

connection information, such as cookie, user_agent.
buffering information, such as time, percent, progress.
variant information of adaptive streaming content, such as bandwidth, resolution.
