Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect, P3)

Description

[Rick Eyre (:reyre)]

This is used in some of the 'sourcing text tracks' algorithms.

[Andrew Quartey [:drexler]]

Since both are needed in the "Sourcing out-of-band text tracks" algorithm, we might as well add them together.

Kyle, mind taking a peek at this? :)

Comment 3

[Andrew Quartey [:drexler]]

Ooops! Just noticed that bug 882667 covers the blocked-on-parser property. I'll just split this patch up and send the blocked-on-parser bits there pending Kyle's feedback.

We can just mark that as a duplicate of this. They go together like you said so let's land them together! :)

What actually uses this?

As of now nothing but they will eventually be used in determining when to populate the media element's pending Textracklist and denoting when that's completed.

I would prefer that you didn't check this in until you have code that uses it.

Is this still relevant?

Assignee has not been active in at least a year, and is not in the phonebook. Same goes for reporter, and the author of the patch on this bug.

I've put this back in the backlog, but it may need more re-prioritization.
