Tracker Issue ID: ISSUE-46
Description:
HTML5 should support identification of program boundaries on continuous streams.
- Program boundaries need to be identified in continuous streams so that actions can be taken such as:
- Synchronization of content
- Changes in content rating, authorization, etc.
Motivation:
- Support for features associated with content boundaries even if the stream is continuous.
Dependencies:
- Existing methods used by television content providers
What needs to be standardized
- A consistently specified marker and/or time base to identify boundaries
