I assume you're referring to the Dash data included in the Polify paper,
right? :)

Not sure if I ever got it to drop out completely; just did some
measurements of which bitrate it picked, and the context was airtime
prioritisation, not so much the latency improvements. But anyway, the
tests just used the reference dash.js[0] player, with a logger addition
that Flent can parse[1].

I don't recall what exactly is needed on the server side to run this,
but I think it's basically just dropping the right Big Buck Bunny
tarball on a web server along with dash-logger.js from the Flent sources :)
