Details

MediaCapabilities spec got updated with additions to query if a particular EME system is supported via the MediaCapabilitiesKeySystemConfiguration attribute. We should implement that too
Priority: -- → P2

I've been looking at this and https://github.com/WICG/encrypted-media-encryption-scheme/blob/master/explainer.md today. I'd originally thought that the media caps based work being discussed in this bug would supersede the scheme spec above. However, after some reading, it appears not.

In it's current state https://wicg.github.io/media-capabilities/#mediacapabilitieskeysystemconfiguration doesn't appear to allow for a consumer of the API to provide a scheme when querying. I.e. consumers will run into the same issues that motivate https://github.com/WICG/encrypted-media-encryption-scheme/blob/master/explainer.md. It looks like the media caps github is tracking this here.

Edit: which is not to say we shouldn't implement this, but to clarify a misunderstanding that I had and that I believe has come up in some discussions.
