Do they also support H.264? >> Which content providers currently serve MPEG-2 in an HTML5-based >> player? > > Every commercial video service provider I am familiar with. Which ones are you familiar with? Does Netflix stream MPEG-2 to devices that can do H.264? (Seems unlikely.) (I'm aware of a cloud PVR that streams the original MPEG-2 data captured from DVB-T, but they also offer H.264 recompressions. So if they chose to migrate from using out-of-browser viewer apps to HTML5, they could. But that service is irrelevant to EME, since they don't add any DRM to the data captured from DRMless DVB-T broadcasts.) > A better question would be whether and when they intend to use something > other than MPEG-2? ... > There is something called legacy systems. Do you expect the services you are talking about to target Chrome or IE using HTML5/EME? Or just Samsung/LG/Sony TVs? -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
