This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The SourceBuffer() getter method of the SourceBufferList interface allows the SourceBuffer objects in the list to be accessed with an array operator (i.e. [].)
Syntax
var mySourceBuffer = SourceBufferList[index];
Parameters
- index
- The index position of the
SourceBufferobject you want to return.
Returns
A SourceBuffer object.
Errors
No specific errors are returned, but if the supplied index is great than or equal to SourceBufferList.length, the operation will return undefined.
Example
TBD.
