Re: [tvcontrol-api] Abstract indicates IPTV is supported

Hi @joaoserra,

Thanks for your comments. I do not have concrete answers at this stage, but wanted to link them to open issues on our side. It would be useful if you could share scenarios and requirements that you would like to address.

I do not think that the API should expose the complexity of the underlying transport mechanisms, unless you see a good reason to do so. That being said, the group does have in mind the need to address mappings to media delivery formats and protocols, in particular to make sure that the API can successfully handle that complexity, see: https://github.com/w3c/tvcontrol-api/issues/10

> What about DRM/CAS, and how to integrate it with W3C EME?

I raised a similar question some time ago: https://github.com/w3c/tvcontrol-api/issues/17
