This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the spec changes.
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.
