Notes:
*Talking with developers (Chris Double, Matthew Gregan, Chris Pearce, Justin Dolske, Robert O'Callahan, Neil Deakin, dao, mano) about implementation
* According to the HTML5 spec, video can’t have visible controls by default (?)
*Prioritizing impelementation for 3.6 and 3.7:


Priorities for 3.6
Notes:


# Fullscreen mode implementation, including
*According to the HTML5 spec, video can’t have visible controls by default (?)
* Larger, slightly different user interface
* Ability to enter and exist fullscreen while smoothly watching video
* Dao wrote patch - it was too slow & taken out?  What’s status?


# Better error messages on video, which provide easy to understand textual description of what happened & how to fix it
'''Priorities for 3.6'''
* Most is front-end controlled, so there’s 3-4 kinds of error
* Dolske is working with Boriss on this
* Need a list of what errors we can catch & what to tell & show the user in each case... codec vs. non


#Play button
*Fullscreen mode implementation, including
* For video with autoplay off (and possibly poster off), have a play button in the center and have the whole video clickable to play
* If the user clicks anywhere on the screen while the video is playing, pause and show pause button in the center of the screen


#Poster attribute problem
:*Larger, slightly different user interface
*Poster attribute may not be displaying at the beginning of the video correctly
:*Ability to enter and exist fullscreen while smoothly watching video  
**Limi has a way to get around the spec**
:*Dao wrote patch - it was too slow & taken out? What’s status?
Autobuffer.. if variable not set won’t load video.
Autoplay.. off by default.. can set to on if you want.
Poster.. <---


Bug fixes:
*Better error messages on video, which provide easy to understand textual description of what happened &amp; how to fix it
* Throbber should not display at the beginning of a video for less than three seconds
(++)


#Small size handling (what disappears when)
:*Most is front-end controlled, so there’s 3-4 kinds of error
* For 3.6 make it not look bad at small sizes (what disappears when)
:*Dolske is working with Boriss on this
* For 3.7 handle small sizes very well (other panels popping up if room, etc)
:*Need a list of what errors we can catch &amp; what to tell &amp; show the user in each case... codec vs. non
* Needed: design work


#Audio only mode
*Play button
* What’s needed?  UI work..dev


Priorities for 3.7
:*For video with autoplay off (and possibly poster off), have a play button in the center and have the whole video clickable to play
:*If the user clicks anywhere on the screen while the video is playing, pause and show pause button in the center of the screen


#Live video
*Poster attribute problem
#Ability to link to a direct time on the video (and possibly load a page with a video at a particular point?)
:*Poster attribute may not be displaying at the beginning of the video correctly
:*Limi has a way to get around the spec**


'''Current bugs/problems:'''
*Autobuffer.. if variable not set won’t load video. Autoplay.. off by default.. can set to on if you want. Poster.. &lt;---
# Default should be for video controls to be on (it’s in the spec)
# Throbber should not display at the beginning of a video for less than three seconds


(look through current video bugs - prioritize some of those)
