Firefox/Projects/Video Controls

Wanted features

Streaming UI controls

• How to scrub forward/back
• Live indicator
• Indicating how much we buffer backward/forward

Accessibility

• Improve default shortcut keys

Audio controls

• Audio controls currently just use the video ones
• Uses too much screen real estate
• Slightly different use case, since it doesn't require you to pay attention to what's on the screen

Fullscreen implementation + UI

• Implement full-screen support for video
• Make larger controls for this mode, probably floating

Other

• Giant play button when paused (e.g. YouTube)
• Volume adjustment button could use degrees of volume states (eg more obvious when muted)
• Adjust text (currently too high and thin on marker)
• Be able to overlay text / other content onto video
• Determine what events to be able to consume / produce
• Ability to link to a direct moment in the video

Error messages

• Currently, there's no proper handling of errors

Meetings

• Contact people at YouTube + DailyMotion to make sure we give them what they need when it comes to controls
• Meet with the accessibility people to figure out what the best approach for keyboard shortcuts is
