We are running a little survey to get input on possible JavaFX Media enhancements. Below you can find a list of possible JavaFX Media enhancements, which we might implement in the future, although there is no commitment. We will appreciate if you can rate each enhancement on how useful/important it will be for JavaFX mainline. Put “1" for very important and I need this feature; “2" for looks important, but I am not planning to use it; “3" for not important and I do not need it.
1) ID3 metadata support for MP4 files. Rating: 3 2) Support for multichannel audio rendering (more than 2 channels). Rating: 3 3) Subtitles support for MP4 files and HTTP Live Streaming. Rating: 2 4) HDR support. Rating: 1 5) InputStream for AudioClip with PCM support. Rating: 3 6) Public APIs to access raw audio and video frames. Rating: 2 . This is very useful but can be currently done with something like WritableImage image = mediaView.snapshot(new SnapshotParameters(), null); 7) Support for multiple audio tracks in MP4 files and alternate audio streams in HTTP Live Streaming provided via #EXT-X-MEDIA tag. Rating: 3 8) Media recording/capture. Rating: 1 9) Opus audio codec. Rating: 2 10) MKV (matroska) file format. Rating: 2 11) WebM/VP9/Opus Rating: 1. This is a "must have" for 4k video 12) RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) Rating: 3 13) Pluggable codecs Rating: 1 Please, list any additional media formats (codecs) / protocols you would like to see in upcoming JavaFX releases: List any additional media enhancements you consider important to JavaFX Media: Thanks, Alexander
