Worked on the shaka-project/shaka-player repository, focusing on stabilizing media playback and improving device compatibility across diverse platforms. Addressed five critical bugs over five months, including persistent audio track selection during variant updates, robust PlayReady DRM handling for Sony Bravia TVs, and accurate device detection for Orange STBs. Enhanced error handling for Youview Platform session updates, preventing crashes from malformed error objects and improving debugging. Leveraged JavaScript and web development skills to refine browser compatibility, DRM interoperability, and platform detection. The work prioritized regression safety, user experience, and reliable streaming, resulting in reduced support incidents and smoother operator integrations across devices.
Month: 2025-08 — Focused on interoperability fixes for Orange STBs by correcting encryption handling classification in shaka-player. Delivered a targeted bug fix to ensure requiresEncryptionInfoInAllInitSegments returns true for Orange STBs by classifying the 'SOPOpenBrowser' user agent as WebKit STB, preventing playback failures and ensuring proper DRM initialization across operator devices. Result: improved device compatibility, reduced customer-facing playback issues, and smoother operator integration.
