dmlap has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/media-source: == More flexible error handling == It may be possible for app developers to transparently handle decode errors when the source material is available from redundant sources or at different quality levels. Currently, the append error algorithm dictates that the [end of stream algorithm is invoked](https://w3c.github.io/media-source/#sourcebuffer-append-error) unconditionally on decode errors. This triggers an error on the HTMLMediaElement and updates its state to indicate a fatal condition. Ideally, the app developer would have some opportunity to intercept decode errors, prevent this condition from propagating to the Media Element, and provide alternate content at some point in the future. Maybe something as simple as `Event.preventDefault()`? See https://github.com/w3c/media-source/issues/36
