Originally filed: 2012-05-31 12:52:00 +0000 ================================================================================ #0 contributor@whatwg.org 2012-05-31 12:52:32 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-video-element.html Multipage: http://www.whatwg.org/C#sourcing-out-of-band-text-tracks Complete: http://www.whatwg.org/c#sourcing-out-of-band-text-tracks Comment: <track> Move crossorigin="" to <track> Posted from: 2001:4c28:a030:30:10c4:66a0:3c62:e586 by simonp@opera.com User agent: Opera/9.80 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7.3; U; en) Presto/2.10.229 Version/11.64 ================================================================================ #1 Simon Pieters 2012-05-31 12:56:31 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[ If URL is not the empty string, perform a potentially CORS-enabled fetch of URL, with the mode being the state of the media element's crossorigin content attribute, the origin being the origin of the media element's Document, and the default origin behaviour set to fail. ]] I think this is problematic for several reasons: * There might not be a media element. * You might want to allow cross-origin fetching of the video but not of the tracks, or vice versa. I think it would be better to have a crossorigin attribute on <track> and let the track load algorithm look only at that. ================================================================================ #2 Simon Pieters 2012-06-01 16:12:22 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We discussed this for a bit internally and concluded that the added flexibility with <track crossorigin> was not worth the added verbosity. To solve this: > * There might not be a media element. We suggest instead that <track> never loads if it doesn't have a media element as parent. ================================================================================
