This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Propose adding additional media events to indicate whether captions and audio descriptions are present, turned on, etc.
Just events in themselves aren't very useful. What we need is a full API for track selection, please bring such suggestions to the mailing list for discussion, as no one is completely pleased with any suggestion solution so far.
HTML Accessibility Task force making this a formal tracked bug for the TF.
Removing myself from cc list, default on bug edits is to add, but I'm only acting on behalf of HTML A11Y TF which is already cc'd.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Partially Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: I agree that we need an API for getting the timed-track data. I'm waiting for the browsers to catch up with what we have so far before expanding the media API further.
