The HLS protocol is not that complicated especially if a player can
already play http/aac. Many of the affected players cannot play aac.

Is it in the interest of manufacturer to update old products where
development and test facilities have been mothballed and new codec
licenses have to be agreed. Better to encourage user to buy new latest
player.

Manufacturer are also wary of which standard will be required for next
year - HLS, HDS or DASH ? If the vendor provides an upgrade for HLS
today forp free - will it be outdated by 2016 and then will vendor then
be expected to product as DASH upgrade still at no cost to owner of
player.
