Good point. That is up in the air. The stakeholders are adamant they don't want to let the user skip or mute the video.
My feeling is that we should let the user control volume and skip, but certainly we don't want play / pause buttons and we don't want any sort of frame around the video as this will affect the aesthetic. -----Original Message----- From: Barry Beattie [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 19 May 2009 11:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Adaptive streaming @Ross no UI? does that include no audio level control?
