Re: [MEDIA_PIPELINE_TF] Adaptive Bit Rate Architectur

Hi, in general I agree with the 3 architecture models as well.
For providing content, I think models 1 & 3 are most important:

Model 1:  Reporting & QoS mettrics are critical. When playing HLS in and
HTML5 player, we have no clear view of which bitrates are truly optimal.
Delivering to phones, tablets, and desktops across varying quality wifi or
3G networks can be like throwing darts blindfolded :)

Model 2: Nice to have, but the heuristics of selecting a bitrate based on
bandwidth & client decoding performance are pretty well understood.
Application developers shouldn't have to deal with this in order to
provide content to a customer.

Model 3: Dynamic client-side selection & appending of video segments (or
sources) is critical to present seamless video experiences to viewers.
Application developers capabilities on HTML5 generally lag behind in this
area. 

I've also added three new use cases related to these thoughts:

Thoughts?  Thanks, J
