Our issue is doing a live broadcast from within a browser with our native 
nanoStream NPAPI plugin, not playback. 
We currently use RTMP for live streaming, as fragmented files create a longer 
latency and complexity.
Playback is up to the browser, either DASH, RTMP/Flash (yes!), HLS or other 
protocols supported by the streaming server.
These use cases are widely used, and it seems difficult to solve when NPAPI is 
switched off, without any native plugin alternative, except moving back to 
native apps.
What is the mozilla plan for supporting native extensions in the future, 
similar to Chrome extensions (native messaging) ?

Web API docs/evangelism/dev team meeting Thursday at 8 AM PDT

[Eric Shepherd]

The Web API documentation community meeting, with representatives from
the technical evangelism and the API development teams, will take place
on Thursday at 8 AM Pacific Time (see http://bit.ly/1GghwBR for your
time zone).

Typical meetings include news about recent API development progress and
future development plans, discussions about what the priorities for
documenting and promoting new Web technologies should be, and the status
of ongoing work to document and evangelize these technologies.

We have an agenda, as well as details on how to join, here:

https://etherpad.mozilla.org/API-docs-meeting-2015-10-01.

If you have topics you wish to discuss, please feel free to add them to
the agenda.

We look forward to seeing you there!

If you have topics you wish to discuss, please feel free to add them to
the agenda. Also, if you're unable to attend but have information or
suggestions related to APIs on the Web, their documentation, and how we
promote these APIs, please add a note or item to the agenda so we can be
sure to address it, even if you're unable to attend.

C++ Core Guidelines

[Botond Ballo]

Hi folks,

I wanted to draw your attention to a new project underway in the C++
standards community.

It's a document called "C++ Core Guidelines" [1], intended to be a
collection of widely applicable C++ best practices, that can serve as
a template on which C++ projects can base their own, more specific
guidelines.

The document is a work in progress, still incomplete in many places.
The initial authors are Bjarne Stroustrup and Herb Sutter, two members
of the C++ Standards Committee, and they welcome contributions via
GitHub to help complete and improve it.

At some point (probably some time later when the guidelines are more
complete), we may want to see if there's anything in there that we'd
like to lift into our own Mozilla guidelines.

Cheers,
Botond
