   Bin: I see Sean has updated the draft spec

   Sean: I added to the TVTrigger interface, but there some
   trigger types that have payloads that only known privately

   Bin: Looking at the progress measurement page, do you think the
   requirement there are addressed in your update?

   Sean: I think so, yes

   Bin: Has has sent an email on 30th June

   Chris: He's identified 11 requirements from the Media Pipeline
   TF that we should consider

   Bin: I think we should prioritise our own initial requirements
   and hold these for the next revision of our spec
   ... These new requirements could have an impact on our
   timescale
   ... So we should look at these when our spec is more stable,
   and when we have more bandwidth to look at them

   Chris: I'm happy to take a look at these before the next call

   <scribe> ACTION: Chris to look at the requirements from the
   Media Pipeline TF [recorded in
   [11]http://www.w3.org/2015/07/07-tvapi-minutes.html#action01]

     [12] http://www.w3.org/community/tvapi/track/actions/32

   Bin: It looks like he's added the column, but it's empty
   ... OK, so lets wait to ask Kaz's view on this, so keep this
   action open for next time

   action-33?

   <trackbot> action-33 -- Paul Higgs to Send to the mailing list

   Bin: And Sean has updated the spec based on Paul's analysis
   ... Sean, can you tell us about he follow-up improvements
   you're expecting about recording and timeshifting?

   Sean: I need some more time to look at this, and I'm not sure
   we have sufficient information to spec it at this time
   ... Are we confident that we have enough information to spec
   the timeshifting and recording, or are we planning to do more
   work to clarify these requirements?

   Bin: Is it possible to update the progress measurement table to
   show what we have so far?

   <scribe> ACTION: Sean to update the progress measurement table
   for recording, timeshifting, and triggered overlays [recorded
   in

   table for recording, timeshifting, and triggered overlays [on
   Sean Lin - due 2015-07-14].

   Chris: Please ask on the mailing list about any questions
   regarding the timeshifting and recording, and we'll try to give
   more detail

   close action-34

   <trackbot> Closed action-34.

Conditional access systems

   Bin: I see Sung Hei has posted to the mailing list

   Sung Hei: In the last meeting, we discussed the W3C EME spec,
   and whether it would support our requirements

   scribe: This spec was focused on getting keys and decoding
   using these
   ... So it looks that EME has a different scope than our
   requirements
   ... I don't think EME is appropriate for the TV API as it
   stands
   ... I have looked at other CAS and DRM APIs, such as
   ANSI/CEA-2014-B and OIPF DAE
   ... They reference each other
   ... I've listed some of the APIs that we can consider, such as
   onDRMSystemStatusChange
   ... My goal was to list some of the APIs we can consider
   ... We could use the OIPF APIs as a basis

   Paul: Those APIs are there to support low-level decryption
   ... The work was originally done in OIPF then used by CEA
   ... The methods in the ANSI/CEA spec are also in OIPF
   ... The original CEA-2014-A defined a player, the video/mpeg,
   or the AV Control object
   ... There was nothing well-defined for playing video in the
   browser at the time
   ... The CEA-2014-B added DRM
   ... The OIPF references CEA-2014-A, for the presentation
   aspects
   ... but I haven't looked at CEA-2014-B myself

   Sung Hei: The OIPF DAE seems better defined, eg, some of the
   structure definitions

   scribe: Is it OK for us to use the OIPF DAE API?

   Chris: That's a good question

   Paul: Those specs were tied to a video player object, so we
   could try to tie those APIs to the Tuner object in our API

   Chris: There is an overlap between the TV Control API and the
   DAE, but I'm not sure how much of the DAE we can use

   Alex: How much of our requirements are satisfied by the DAE?

   Paul: It was discussed a while ago, whether to base our spec on
   the OIPF or to make our own spec
   ... As Chris points out, most of our requirements are covered
   by the OIPF

   Alex: But I think our aim is to do something more Web oriented

   Paul: I don't think there's much difference ultimately

   Alex: I agree
   ... It may make it easier for manufacturers to use existing
   specs

   Paul: I think there's enough information to create the spec
   text

   Bin: Sung Hei, what do you plan for the next stage?

   Sung Hei: I want to define the API using the functions I found,
   but information from broadcasters would be helpful

   <scribe> ACTION: Sung-Hei to propose an API spec for
   conditional access systems [recorded in

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-38 - Propose an api spec for
   conditional access systems [on Sung Hei Kim - due 2015-07-14].

   Bin: Regarding parental control, I think to see what Sung Hei
   proposes for CAS before looking at this

   Sung Hei: These two are related, so the proposal may cover both

   Bin: As next steps, we have the new action items from today
   ... Hopefully we'll have a more stable spec my next meeting,
   with the aim of addressing the requirements by end of the year

AOB

   Chris: Are we planning to have a meeting at TPAC

   Bin: Last year we met as part of the Web & TV IG meeting

   Daniel: The plan for this year is similar to last year, and the
   meeting would be Monday 26th
   ... This is an opportunity for the CG to meet and report back
   to the Web and TV IG
   ... I'll let you know about logistics

   Bin: Let's discuss further during August

   Daniel: And we could gather ideas on the wiki
