Measuring the rate at which the playback buffer is filling/emptying gives a fair indication of network goodput, but there does not appear to be a way to measure just how well the client is playing the video itself. If I have a wimpy machine behind a fat network connection, you may flood me with HD that I just can't play very well. The cpu or video card may just not be able to render the video well.Exposing a metric (eg: Dropped Frame count, rendered frame rate) would allow sites to dynamically adjust the video which is being sent to a client [eg: switch the url to a differently encoded file] and thereby optimize the playback experience. Anyone else think this would be good to have ? Thanks, Jeremy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
