Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.99 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. 2. 3. What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? I have a site that uses Icecast online radio streams. Right now to get metadata I have to make a request to get an xsl file every 12 seconds. The metadata is already transferred on the stream itself, having a way to extract that data would be very useful. Seems Firefox already started doing something about it: "In case of an Ogg container stream (So both Vorbis and Opus), at least Firefox supports javascript access to the metadata. This is currently only "vendor specific" Javascript API: audio.mozGetMetadata();" Did this work before? N/A Does this work in other browsers?

manuelchaves@ Thanks for the issue. From the above description, this looks like a feature request to extract metadata from audio/video. Hence marking this as Untriaged for further updates from Dev, Thanks..

+hbengali@ since this is a feature request. We don't have plans to expose any in-band metadata for streams at this time. +jyavenard in case there's interest in standardizing the firefox API.

That's a shame. It would make things like radio broadcasts much more efficient since right now since there would be no need to query a server every X seconds. Plus this information is already streamed (I think?) just not exposed, would be nice if it was useful. Though I understand there might be some security issues to consider, but that could be discussed. |
