webtv-ISSUE-21 (MattH): Time synchronisation [HOME_NETWORK_TF]

http://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/track/issues/21

Raised by: Matt Hammond
On product: HOME_NETWORK_TF

Scenario: A user watches a programme on a television. The television may be receiving the programme using an integrated receiver rather than streaming it from another device on the home network. A companion device runs an application providing a presentation of complimentary content such as a document based as slideshow. The presentation changes to match the different segments of the programme. If it is possible to seek within the programme timeline, the user can use the application to jump to a different point in the presentation and the television will also seek to the corresponding segment of the programme. The user can enable/disable content-program synchronization at any time.

* The application can query the playback progress of the media being played on the television
* The application can command the television to jump to a different playback time index
