When trying to use uapi.js to create the Virtual Channel demo page, I realized that dash 4.0 and also HLS.js seemed to not support Virtual Channel transitions.
So, I updated the players to the latest version and they now seem to work.
Updating HLS.js was straightforward.
Updating Dash.js needs some tweaking because of the breaking API changes introduced in version 4
Shaka strangely works with Virtual Channel in the public shaka demo page but the same player in uapi does not. It must be due to some settings (!?) and I did not try to fix it for the moment.
Jamie/Dirk, I've seen you both had worked on updating players recently and there are also other branches opened for this. Maybe you want to review before merging this?
