I thought it would be good to send out a summary of what happened in regards to WebVTT at FOMS for whoever is interested.
The main focus topics were: FCC complianceUnifying the VTTRegion and VTTCue layout algorithmsHLS of WebVTT Outcomes of discussions: Region and cue width and heights will be specified in emsImplicit regions for plain cues in order to unify the layout algorithmsRegions will be flexible and grow with text when they can't contain all of itHLS WebVTT will be worked on soon by Silvia (discussion was done, but no concrete conclusions) WebVTT is very close to FCC compliance. The one point lacking was scroll up being done correctly in regions. With the changes to regions listed above this will be fixed. New Features Proposed: The folks at JW Player showed off some features they worked into their player that they want to see in WebVTT. Most of these new features Silvia had requested of them last year to put into JW Player so that we could see a demo of them: Tooltip Thumbnails: Example: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/31778/adding-tooltip-thumbnailsDemo: http://demo.jwplayer.com/text-tracks/thumbs.html Chapter Markers and UI Examples: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/35713/adding-chapter-markers They also showed a way that chapters could be done with a left pop-out pane that has a the list of chapters with thumbnails, etc. Various Demos (use Chrome for them to work…): http://demo.jwplayer.com/text-tracks Rick _______________________________________________ dev-media mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-media
