CurrentDVRInfo() does not contain time

[MariusSp]

Environment

• The MPD passes the DASH-IF Conformance Tool on https://conformance.dashif.org/
• The stream has correct Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers (CORS)
• There are no network errors such as 404s in the browser console when trying to play the stream
• The issue observed is not mentioned on https://github.com/Dash-Industry-Forum/dash.js/wiki/FAQ
• The issue occurs in the latest reference client on http://reference.dashif.org/dash.js/ and not just on my page

• Link to playable MPD file: https://dash.akamaized.net/akamai/bbb_30fps/bbb_30fps.mpd
• Dash.js version: 4.x.x
• Browser name/version: Chromium 94, Firefox 94
• OS name/version: Manjaro Linux

Steps to reproduce

Play some content, open console, call player.getDashMetrics().getCurrentDVRInfo('video').time

Observed behavior

player.getDashMetrics().getCurrentDVRInfo('video').time always returns null, while v3.2.2 still returns the current playback time.

Expected behavior

Return the current playback time.

For VoD content the DVR window is only set once before playback start. You can interpret the null as 0 but we will adjust this accordingly.

I checked this and I don't think we should change anything here. For live content the time is updated once the DVR window is updated. For VoD content the DVR window does not change, thats why we only set it once before playback starts.

In order to get the current time please use player.time()

Closing this, nevertheless thank you for pointing this out @MariusSp
