I don't have the latest version of the spec checked out, so I'll post it here.
HTML5 media has a discovery mechanism for retrieving the track names
of a media resource through the audioTracks, videoTracks, and
textTracks IDL attributes of the HTMLMediaElement.
For example, to discover all the names of the available tracks of a
video resource, you may want to use the following JavaScript excerpt.
<video id="v1" src="video" controls>
</video>
<script type="text/javascript">
var video = document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0];
var track_names = [];
var idx = 0;
for (i=0; i< video.audioTracks.length; i++, idx++) {
track_names[idx] = video.audioTracks.getLabel(i);
}
for (i=0; i< video.videoTracks.length; i++, idx++) {
track_names[idx] = video.audioTracks.getLabel(i);
}
for (i=0; i< video.textTracks.length; i++, idx++) {
track_names[idx] = video.textTracks[i].label;
}
</script>
I think this is correct, but would appreciate somebody cross-checking.
Cheers,
Silvia.
