<!--OddPage--><h2><span class="secno">1. </span>Introduction</h2>
<p>This specification allows JavaScript to dynamically construct media streams for <audio> and <video>.
It defines objects that allow JavaScript to pass media segments to an <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html#htmlmediaelement">HTMLMediaElement</a> [<cite><a class="bibref" href="#bib-HTML5">HTML5</a></cite>].
A buffering model is also included to describe how the user agent acts when different media segments are
appended at different times. Byte stream specifications for WebM, ISO Base Media File Format, and MPEG-2 Transport Streams are given to specify the
expected format of byte streams used with these extensions.</p>
<img src="pipeline_model.png" alt="Media Source Pipeline Model Diagram">
<section id="goals">
<h3><span class="secno">1.1 </span>Goals</h3>
<p>This specification was designed with the following goals in mind:</p>
<ul>
<li>Allow JavaScript to construct media streams independent of how the media is fetched.</li>
<li>Define a splicing and buffering model that facilitates use cases like adaptive streaming, ad-insertion, time-shifting, and video editing.</li>
<li>Minimize the need for media parsing in JavaScript.</li>
<li>Leverage the browser cache as much as possible.</li>
<li>Provide byte stream definitions for WebM, the ISO Base Media File Format, and MPEG-2 Transport Streams.</li>
<li>Not require support for any particular media format or codec.</li>
</ul>
<p>This specification defines:</p>
<ul>
<li>Normative behavior for user agents to enable interoperability between user agents and web applications when processing media data.</li>
<li>Normative requirements to enable other specifications to define media formats to be used within this specification.</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section id="definitions">
<h3><span class="secno">1.2 </span>Definitions</h3>
<dl>
<dt id="active-track-buffers">Active Track Buffers</dt>
<dd><p>The <a href="#track-buffer">track buffers</a> that provide <a href="#coded-frame">coded frames</a> for the <code><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html#dom-audiotrack-enabled">enabled</a></code>
<code><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html#dom-media-audiotracks">audioTracks</a></code>, the <code><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html#dom-videotrack-selected">selected</a></code> <code><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html#dom-media-videotracks">videoTracks</a></code>, and the
<code><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html#dom-texttrack-showing">"showing"</a></code> or <code><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html#dom-texttrack-hidden">"hidden"</a></code> <code><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html#dom-media-texttracks">textTracks</a></code>. All these tracks are associated with
<a href="#idl-def-SourceBuffer" class="idlType"><code>SourceBuffer</code></a> objects in the <code><a href="#widl-MediaSource-activeSourceBuffers">activeSourceBuffers</a></code> list.</p>
</dd>
<dt id="append-window">Append Window</dt>
<dd><p>A presentation timestamp range used to filter out <a href="#coded-frame">coded frames</a> while appending. The append window represents a single
continuous time range with a single start time and end time. Coded frames with presentation timestamps within this range are allowed to be appended
to the <a href="#idl-def-SourceBuffer" class="idlType"><code>SourceBuffer</code></a> while coded frames outside this range are filtered out. The append window start and end times are controlled by
the <code><a href="#widl-SourceBuffer-appendWindowStart">appendWindowStart</a></code> and <code><a href="#widl-SourceBuffer-appendWindowEnd">appendWindowEnd</a></code> attributes respectively.</p></dd>
<dt id="coded-frame">Coded Frame</dt>
<dd><p>A unit of media data that has a presentation timestamp and decode timestamp. The presentation timestamp indicates when the frame must be rendered. The decode timestamp indicates when the frame needs to be decoded. If frames can be decoded out of order, then the decode timestamp are present in the byte stream. The user agent must run the <a href="#end-of-stream-algorithm">end of stream algorithm</a> with the <var>error</var> parameter set to <code><a href="#idl-def-EndOfStreamError.decode">"decode"</a></code> if this is not the case. If frames cannot be decoded out of order and a decode timestamp is not present in the byte stream, then the decode timestamp is equal to the presentation timestamp.</p></dd>
<dt id="coded-frame-group">Coded Frame Group</dt>
<dd><p>A group of <a href="#coded-frame">coded frames</a> that are adjacent and monotonically increasing in decode time without any gaps. Discontinuities detected by the
<a href="#sourcebuffer-coded-frame-processing">coded frame processing algorithm</a> and <code><a href="#widl-SourceBuffer-abort-void">abort()</a></code> calls trigger the start of a new coded frame group.</p>
</dd>
<dt id="displayed-frame-delay">Displayed Frame Delay</dt>
<dd>
<p>The delay, to the nearest microsecond, between a frame's presentation time and the actual time it was displayed. This delay is always greater than or equal to zero since frames must
never be displayed before their presentation time. Non-zero delays are a sign of playback jitter and possible loss of A/V sync.</p>
</dd>
<dt id="init-segment">Initialization Segment</dt>
<dd>

<p>The following steps are periodically run during playback to make sure that all of the <a href="#idl-def-SourceBuffer" class="idlType"><code>SourceBuffer</code></a> objects in <code><a href="#widl-MediaSource-activeSourceBuffers">activeSourceBuffers</a></code> have <a href="#enough-data">enough data to ensure uninterrupted playback</a>.

<p>Having <dfn id="enough-data">enough data to ensure uninterrupted playback</dfn> is an implementation specific condition where the user agent
determines that it currently has enough data to play the presentation without stalling for a meaningful period of time. This condition is
constantly evaluated to determine when to transition the media element into and out of the <code><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html#dom-media-have_enough_data">HAVE_ENOUGH_DATA</a></code> ready state.
These transitions indicate when the user agent believes it has enough data buffered or it needs more data respectively.</p>
<div class="note"><div class="note-title"><span>Note</span></div><p class="">An implementation may choose to use bytes buffered, time buffered, the append rate, or any other metric it sees fit to
determine when it has enough data. The metrics used may change during playback so web applications should only rely on the value of

500ms to append more data before playback stalls.</p></div>
