Collects CTA WAVE's comment on W3C Media Capability APIs
A first analysis was done here: https://1drv.ms/w/s!AiNJEPgowJnWgpQn_duIoacMuDdrtA?e=Yhy4cU
The Media Capabilities API provides an improved alternative to the isTypeSupported()
API for determining whether a given user agent is capable of encoding, decoding and rendering a piece of content.
To determine if a user-agent can decode a particular piece of content, the mediaCapabilities.decodingInfo()
method is called. The method takes an instance of a MediaDecodingConfiguration
object as an argument and returns as a Promise
a MediaCapabilitiesInfo
object.
CTA WAVE has identified several issues when this new API is used with CTA WAVE/CMAF Content. These issues are collected and may be provided to W3C as part of an liaison or other communication channels between CTA WAVE and W3C.
