Feature Status ETA Owner
Media Controls Refresh Determining scope. YYYY-MM-DD Justin Dolske

Summary

Our HTML5 media controls have changed very little since they were introduced in Firefox 3.5 -- mostly just bug fixed and keeping them working as the spec evolves. HTML5 media is an area we've made serious investment in, and it's time to make sure our default controls show it.

This project is primarily a collection of bug-fixes, updated design work, and small-scope featurettes; all building on top of the existing implementation.

Team

Who's working on this?

  • Feature Manager: Justin Dolske
  • Lead Developer: Jared Wein, Frank Yan (each part-time)
  • Product Manager: TBD
  • QA: TBD
  • UX: TBD
  • Accessibility: TBD
  • Security: TBD
  • Privacy: TBD

Release Requirements

TBD Complete checklist of items that need to be satisfied before we can call this feature "done".

Next Steps & Open Issues

TBD Either the next set of tasks that need to happen to move this project along, or (ideally) the full list of project tasks/action items with things crossed off as they're finished. Including the name of who's responsible for each item, and a rough ETA can be useful. Open issues include unanswered questions, things that need to be explored, decisions that still need to be made, etc. Again, including the name of who's responsible for each item can be useful.

Related Bugs & Dependencies

TBD

Risks

TBD Identify, prioritize, track and communicate any risks associated with this feature/project.

Use Cases

TBD The Channel Switcher Feature Page has some good examples.

Designs

TBD.

Previous investigation at Firefox/Projects/Video_Controls

Test Plans

TBD. Likely to lean more on litmus/mozmill than most features.

Goals

  • Default controls should be visually-competitive compared to other HTML5 and Flash players
  • Default controls should be feature-competitive compared to other HTML5 and Flash players.
  • Eliminate common annoyances/bugs in control implementation.

Non-Goals

Intended to be an iteration of existing controls, a collection of small-scale work. Major or resource-intensive changes are out-of-scope for now. No significant changes to platform media backends.

Other Stuff

  • TODO: Boriss' video control collection?
