RE: CfC: Publish First Public Working Draft of MSE v2

Hi all,

The CfC has closed, thank you to all who replied. There's a clear consensus to go ahead and publish MSE v2 FPWS as proposed, and no objections raised.

Jan-Ivar raised one comment around URL.createObjectURL(). I suggest we follow up at the  upcoming WG meeting on September 14.

Subject: CfC: Publish First Public Working Draft of MSE v2

Dear all,

As discussed in the last Media WG meeting [1], this is a call for consensus to publish First Public Working Draft of MSE v2.

The current Editor's Draft is available at: https://w3c.github.io/media-source/

The proposed plan is:

* To publish FPWD when the MSE in Workers change is merged into the Editor's Draft, see https://github.com/w3c/media-source/pull/282
* To publish to https://www.w3.org/TR/media-source/, the same URL path as the current MSE spec
* To continue to use the existing document title, i.e: Media Source Extensions
* To indicate in the "Status of This Document" section that this is MSE v2 (i.e., having additional features over v1)

The other major change already made to the specification is codec switching (the SourceBuffer changeType method).

The CfC will last for two weeks, ending on 2nd September. Please reply to this email and state one of the following:

* I support publication as FPWD of MSE v2 as proposed
* I object to publication as FPWD of MSE v2 (please detail your concerns)

Many thanks,

Chris (for the Media WG co-chairs)
