media-tracks v0.3.0

Media Tracks

Polyfills the media elements (<audio> or <video>) adding audio and video tracks (as specced) and with renditions as proposed in media-ui-extensions.

• Allows media engines like hls.js or shaka to add media tracks w/ renditions from the information they retrieve from the manifest to a standardized API.
• Allows media UI implementations like media-chrome to consume this uniform API and render media track selection menus and rendition (quality) selection menus.

Caveats

• iOS does not support manual rendition switching as it is using a native HLS implementation. This library can't change anything about that.
