Re: FW: Second screen API and working group

+1 Janina.

Another thing to consider (which David MacDonald and I have chatted about
briefly) is looking to see if there is anything in the MAUR that could find
its way into either the 2.1 or 'Silver' effort going forward.

Over the course of time, I've also seen some interesting Proof-of-Concept
examples of "time adjusting" (Nigel Megitt @ BBC, although he was unable to
share the files when we chatted in Sapporo) and the popcorn.js example from
Geoff Freed at NCAM that delivers supplimental content (and also
demonstrates pausing and "time-shifting" of a different sort:
http://ncamftp.wgbh.org/rd/hgp/hgp.html). It's been on my evergreen To Do
list to continue to collect these types of examples, but...
