Video with multiple audio tracks

Do you think the HTML spec should do something differently? You can discuss spec feedback here, but you should send it to the WHATWG mailing list or file a bug in the W3C bugzilla for it to be considered.

Video with multiple audio tracks

Postby rfransdonk » Mon Feb 02, 2009 9:37 am

I have read the video/media section of the HTML 5.0 specification and I am wondering why there is no API for dealing with multiple audio tracks (i.e. multiple languages).
How can the system select the appropriate aduio track or subtitling track? How can the application signal to the user that alternative audio tracks are available?

The issue of captions and subtitles is unresolved...

Would you want to implement UI for selecting audio tracks and subtitles with javascript? Or would it be ok to just be available in the browser's native UI (context menu and/or the interface when controls="" is present)?
