RE: New Proposal now up for Discussion on the Wiki

Anton, 

Thanks for your comments. I have one question about your comments: Again, screen selection should be done via the browser. We may return some human readable name as part of the requestShow() result for the website to use.

If the selection would be done by browser, why do we also need to return the human-readable names to website? If there is more than one display for presentation, the browser would popup a screen picker to let end-user select the target display for showing a given URL, if the given URL is already showing on the selected display, the browser would be responsible for re-connecting it again. The screen picker UI may look like as following (in case of the same URL is already showing on DISPLAY_1):

Resume Existing Session from
[ ] DISPLAY_1

Launch New Session on
[ ] DISPLAY_2
[ ] DISPLAY_3

In this sense, the end-user decides which display should be re-connected, not by website.

btw, the description about the issue that close() is invoked on MessagePort object by accident is already updated at https://www.w3.org/community/webscreens/wiki/API_Discussion#Open_Questions_3 

Thanks…Hongbo

Hi Dominik et al,

I've just left some comments on the Wiki page, mostly in regards to the device selection. I also tried to answer most of the open questions.
Could you also add the open question about restricting the navigation on the second screen? I now think we should be fine without any restrictions.

Thanks,
Anton.

Dear members of the webscreens CG,

in the interest of easier discussion and collaboration we have now moved and merged the ideas on how to evolve the API to a Wiki page:

 https://www.w3.org/community/webscreens/wiki/API_Discussion


On this page, we documented existing and a new proposed use case "Media Flinging to Multiple Screens", derived requirements from them. Then we documented one proposal how to address the requirements to facilitate the discussion.

There are open questions and your input is needed in how we should tackle those.

We encourage everyone to have a look at this unified proposal, evaluate it and take part in the discussion. For example by raising questions on the mailing list or commenting directly in the Wiki using indentation and Wiki-style signatures (Wikimedia Syntax: [~~~~]).

As the next step, once we reach a level of consensus, we can take the concepts from this page and incorporate them into our Presentation API specification draft.

Dominik
