MV: could MPEG-2 TS can be used ?

CS: next requirement 5 on no advantage for a method aver another
... combination of codecs/file formats

MW: discussing segment switching between Apple HLS and DASH segments

CS: people implementing HLS put the burden on the client, would be good to have feedback from HLS people

Req 6: "must work with open source browsers"

CS: make sure that open source browser can use this method to do ABR
... if we focus on unencrypted content, try to keep content protection elsewhere, req 6 should be fulfilled ?

<kaz> ACTION: Stevens to ping D. Singer on requirement 5 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/03/29-webtv-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-97 - Ping D. Singer on requirement 5 [on Clarke Stevens - due 2012-04-05].

MW: ask Chrome guys

CS: content protection: is there anything that would prevent open source browser to implement ABR with a proprietary decryption part ?

MW: need to make sure that jscript will be able to access segment info and timing info
... ...independently from how it has been encrypted

CS: next requirement 7: "ABR media must be useable in HTML5"
... no specific comment
... Req 8: (linked to Req4), content must be identifiable

MW: HLS/DASH, which profile, or whatever, would be handled by the script, thus does not apply to media source extension

CS: should we change wording for this req?
... ... and review next time
... Req 9: identifiable parameters
... pass info through mime type and mime parameters: is it sufficient?

MW: seems yes

CS: Req 10: error reporting
... need for new errors ?

MW: none provided yet

CS: any errors needed to communicate back to the media element?

MW: talking about browser doing the fetching itself , instead of XHR
... some interactions there, maybe with errors ?

CS: We'll assume it's OK and somebody to speak if not

MV: case where splicing ad into the media: ?

MW: use another media element to render the ad

MV: add this use case as a requirement: how to properly handle this (ad insertion impact on presentation timeline)

CS: Please provide text on the wiki

MV: OK

MW: you would need some changes in the API to perform this use case

MV: look at it carefully

CS: Useful to have best practises ?
... any additional reqs?
... open item: document to provide to HTML TF, should be ready in 1-2 calls

<kaz> [ adjourned ]

<Clarke> Thanks Franck
