How to change request timeout in the Bitmovin Web Player

When a segment or manifest is not reachable, the player is pending for 20s before canceling the request if no response has been received. In some cases, especially Live use-cases, it is sometimes relevant to reduce the default timeout delay in order to allow the player to retry the request faster or to switch to a backup stream.

How to djust the request timeout in the player configuration :

1var config = {
2  key: "YOUR_PLAYER_KEY_HERE",
3  tweaks: {
4
5    // set the timeout to 10s 
6    XHR_TIMEOUT: 10
7  }
