Add SVGs as a supported media type #508

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Please add scalable vector graphics (SVGs) as a supported media type.  

My particular use case involves a chromecast app for businesses that turns 
displays into digital signage.  I intend on providing the user with an 
interface that allows them to place modular content components on predefined 
layouts.  Each modular content component will apply responsive principles and 
render differently based on the size of the layout section.  

Aside from my use case, scalable vector graphics will be beneficial to 
developers building custom receiver applications once the 720p limitation on 
the UI layer is removed.

SVG is already supported by chromecast. If you have a specific SVG issue that 
isn't working, then add those details.

You know what, you're right.  I had the path to my image incorrect.
However, this documentation is what led me to submitting the issue:
https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media

I think it would be wise to update that doc to include SVG in the supported
media list.  If there's a more appropriate place to make that request,
please let me know and I'll file the request accordingly.

Technically we don't consider SVG a media format. Typically we support any of 
the rendering technologies that the Chrome browser supports.
