DASH MPD file can not be retrieve from CDN due to added clock parameter in queryString &_=Date.now()

Hi,

When the player is requesting the MPD file through a CDN, the added on-the-fly clock-time parameter in the queryString throws an error.
I assume we have a specific configuration with the CDN which clearly rejects all calls with modified urls. We have to put secure tokens to protect our urls and the non-expected and added clock-time parameter is totally inconsistent with our requierements.

So I'm looking for a workaroud to not add the clock-time parameter.

I had a look on the source code :

• ajax_request.js, lines 249-250
  if ((this.estimator && !this.estimator.supportsCaching()) ||
  this.parameters.synchronizeClock) {
• and mpd_request.js, line 50, hard coded
  this.parameters_.synchronizeClock = true;

it seems there is no way to disable it programmatically.

Please, could you add a way to disable/enable the synchronizeClock o nthe mpd_request.js file?

By the way, we don only onDemand stream.

Thanks a lot

Regards,

Edouard
