Hello Everyone,
I am the developer of a Safari extension called YouTube5 that converts
flash-based videos on YouTube and other sites to use the native <video> element
instead.
Recently, YouTube has begun delivering their high-resolution formats using
MPEG-DASH, and in Chrome their HTML5 player uses the Media Source api to play
these videos. I have been poking around the WebKit trac and have found several
build flags for Media Source, but I haven't found any information on the
maturity or timeline for this API. It appears that this was a feature that was
initially developed before the Blink fork, but I cannot tell how much
development has gone on since then.
Is anyone working on Media Source Extensions? Is support for them mostly built
already and just not ready for prime time, or is it mostly just a stub? Is the
Safari/WebKit team behind MPEG-DASH as a delivery format, or is it focusing on
Apple's HTTP Live Streaming?
Thanks,
Connor McKay
