We need it to <em>easy</em> define. Posted from: 83.31.38.230 ================================================================================ #1 Silvia Pfeiffer 2010-09-24 08:39:27 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It would be possible to support something like XSPF http://xspf.org/ or mediaRSS http://www.rssboard.org/media-rss could be supported as input format to media elements. It's an indirection though. An alternative is to run your own in JavaScript using the media.load() function on a list of files. The biggest question comes when (and if) we want to support standard playlist functionality in browsers, such as forward to next file/rewind to previous - then we need additions to the JavaScript API and possibly to the @controls user controls. ================================================================================ #2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2010-09-29 07:10:23 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Partially Accepted Change Description: none yet Rationale: Playlists are similar to the media element synchronisation problem, except that instead of having one timeline that is synchronised across multiple elements, it's handling switching from one to another in real time. I think we'll probably have some sort of Controller object that gets a list of media elements and a configuration for how they relate. That's not for this version though. ================================================================================
