Update from Multi-device Timing CG

Dear IG Members.


Giuseppe requested earlier that we reported back on relevant activities
from the Multi-device Timing CG..

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-and-tv/2015Jan/0009.html

I'm please to announce that we have just published a draft spec proposal
for a HTMLTimingObject, and we are inviting your comments on that.

https://www.w3.org/community/webtiming/2015/03/27/draft-htmltimingobject/

Please note that some of the use cases discussed are based on use cases put
forward int the Web and TV IG. We also have added a bunch of other use
cases with relevance to broadcasting scenarios.

In addition to discussing this proposal, we'll probably go on to discuss
weaknesses of current HTML5MediaElements (spec and implementation) with
regard to precisely timed operation (i.e., integration with
HTMLTimingObject).

I know we already have some interest from people in Mozilla, Chrome and
Opera, but as we go ahead more involvement from browser developers would be
be a huge boost. If you know someone that should know about our efforts to
improve the Web as a platform for precisely timed multi-device operation,
please share the group link.

Best,

Ingar Arntzen, Chair Multi-device Timing Community Group
