2022 State of Section 5: Web Media APIs proposed to be supported on all platforms

[JohnRiv]

As we did last year, this issue will track if we have any updates to Section 5: Web Media APIs proposed to be supported on all platforms

• Media Fragments URI 1.0 (basic): https://caniuse.com/media-fragments
• Media Session Standard: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Media_Session_API#browser_compatibility
• Sourcing In-band Media Resource Tracks from Media Containers into HTML: https://www.w3.org/community/inbandtracks/ & https://dev.w3.org/html5/html-sourcing-inband-tracks/
• WebCodecs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/VideoDecoder#browser_compatibility
• Web App Manifest: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest#browser_compatibility

Research results so far:

• ❌ Media Fragments URI 1.0 (basic): still only partial support
• ❓ Media Session Standard: Chrome has full support. Firefox & Safari do not support the Camera & Microphone features, nor the hangup action
• 🤷 Sourcing In-band Media Resource Tracks from Media Containers into HTML: https://dev.w3.org/html5/html-sourcing-inband-tracks/ redirects to a 404, so we need to investigate this further
• ❌ WebCodecs: still only partial support
• ❌ Web App Manifest: still only partial support

We are awaiting feedback from the W3C regarding how to reference Sourcing In-band Media Resource Tracks from Media Containers into HTML.

There will be no changes to WMAS2022 regarding the other 4 items.

https://dev.w3.org/html5/html-sourcing-inband-tracks/ is resolving again

Closing the issue, as no further updates required for 2022.
