Nice topic for our weekly API discussion. Added to the sprint.
A PoC implementation is available on Apple platforms.
In essence delivering metadata with a business error is similar to delivering a media composition with an unplayable resource URL. So this task could be seen as a consistency improvement rather than a feature.
Current status:
Next steps:
Poke @NicolasBrunnerSRF for information.
As an SRF app developer I would like to be able to display player metadata for streams that have not started yet. As a product team we should agree whether this kind of feature is compatible with Pillarbox DNA, both technically and from a feature set point of view.
Hints
On Apple platforms errors, both technical (e.g. network issue, 404, etc.) or business (e.g. blocking reason) end up with an error devoid of any metadata even if, in the business case, we could deliver metadata as well.
The SRF app team would like to display metadata (e.g. a thumbnail) also when a business error (e.g. content availability) is involved. This is something that might already be possible on Android and / or the web, maybe something we should support, maybe not.
This could also offer an option to better address related issues like https://github.com/SRGSSR/pillarbox-apple/issues/917. If we provide an availability date with metadata we could namely not only deliver it but also implement an automatic retry mechanism. Not sure there is a team agreement on this kind of behavior so we should really discuss it together.
