https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16998 Summary: Change sourceAppend() to take a URL and optional range parameters Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Media Source Extensions AssignedTo: adrianba@microsoft.com ReportedBy: acolwell@chromium.org QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org Currently sourceAppend() allow media data to be passed in via a Uint8Array. In most cases it is completely unnecessary for JavaScript to have access to the actual binary data. I am proposing that the signature to sourceAppend() be changed to the following: void sourceAppend(in DOMString id, in DOMString url, optional long long start, optional long long end) This would avoid the need for JavaScript to fetch data via XHR and would allow the browser to utilize its resource fetching and caching subsystems more effectively. Dynamically created media data could still be generated by JavaScript if need be and passed in through Blob urls. sourceappenddone & sourceappenderror events would also be needed to signal when appending has completed or encountered an error. The optional start & end parameters are there to allow a subset of the resource to be fetched. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
