Intent to Implement: Encrypted Media Extensions

[Chris Pearce]

Summary:

Encrypted Media Extensions specifies a JavaScript interface for
interacting with plugins that can be used to facilitate playback of DRM
protected media content. We will also be implementing the plugin
interface itself. We will be working in partnership with Adobe who are
developing a compatible DRM plugin; the Adobe Access CDM.

Given the number of firefox users that are choosing to use equivalent
technologies through flash today, I believe this is the right thing to
do. I definitely think we should have some form of UI that gives users
a choice and provides an opportunity for education though.

So go for it!

Is now the time to have the UX discussion? If not, when and where will
that be happening?

I think we should have the UX discussion ASAP, so that we can get on
with implementing it ASAP.

I don't know where we'll be having that discussion, I don't know how the
UX people and their process works.

For Firefox desktop UX discussions, you should reach out to Chad/Madhava and I.
