http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12399 --- Comment #8 from Silvia Pfeiffer <silviapfeiffer1@gmail.com> 2011-10-05 01:43:19 UTC --- I had discussions with YouTube about the proposed metrics. Here's some feedback: "Without a "download time" metric, i.e. the total amount of time spent thus far loading video data, the "bytes downloaded" metric is not especially useful, because we will need to expect differences in download-start-time behavior between browsers. Measuring the download time through JavaScript would both be difficult and error-prone. "Download time" has to stop counting when there's suddenly no connection, for example. Also, in order to be accurate, it has to start instantaneously when any downloading begins, and end instantaneously when any downloading stops, possibly faster than a JavaScript event timer will fire. While developers could watch networkState, that's a lot of possibly-complex and error-prone code that would have to be duplicated by every developer who wants to know this information, instead of having it simply provided by the platform (which is probably actually more capable of tracking this information simply than we would be as JS developers)." --- So, there is suggestion to add a downloadTime metric for: The time since first HTTP request is sent until now or the download stops/finishes/terminates (whichever is earlier). I've also added this to the proposal in the WHATWG wiki. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
