On top of editorial updates, substantive changes since publication as a W3C Recommendation
in <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/REC-media-source-20161117/">November 2016</a> are:
</p>
<ul>
<li>the addition of a {{SourceBuffer/changeType()}} method to switch among codecs or
bytestreams
</li>
<li>the possibility to create and use {{MediaSource}} objects off the main thread in
dedicated workers
</li>
<li>the removal of the {{URL/createObjectURL()}} extension to the {{URL}} object following
its integration in the File API [[FILEAPI]]
</li>
<li>the addition of {{ManagedMediaSource}}, {{ManagedSourceBuffer}}, and
{{BufferedChangeEvent}} interfaces supporting power-efficient streaming and active buffered
media cleanup by the user agent
</li>

<h2>
Introduction
</h2>
<p>
This specification allows JavaScript to dynamically construct media streams for
<audio> and <video>. It defines a MediaSource object that can serve as a source
of media data for an HTMLMediaElement. MediaSource objects have one or more
{{SourceBuffer}} objects. Applications append data segments to the {{SourceBuffer}}
objects, and can adapt the quality of appended data based on system performance and other
factors. Data from the {{SourceBuffer}} objects is managed as track buffers for audio,
video and text data that is decoded and played. Byte stream specifications used with these
extensions are available in the byte stream format registry [[MSE-REGISTRY]].

<h3>
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 requirements for byte stream format specifications.
</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>

<h2>
Definitions
</h2>
<dl>
<dt>
<dfn>Active Track Buffers</dfn>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The [=track buffers=] that provide [=coded frames=] for the {{AudioTrack/enabled}}
{{HTMLMediaElement/audioTracks}}, the {{VideoTrack/selected}}
{{HTMLMediaElement/videoTracks}}, and the <a def-id="texttrackmode-showing"></a> or
<a def-id="texttrackmode-hidden"></a> {{HTMLMediaElement/textTracks}}. All these tracks
are associated with {{SourceBuffer}} objects in the {{MediaSource/activeSourceBuffers}}
list.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<dfn>Append Window</dfn>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A [=presentation timestamp=] range used to filter out [=coded frames=] while appending.
The append window represents a single continuous time range with a single start time
and end time. Coded frames with [=presentation timestamp=] within this range are
allowed to be appended to the {{SourceBuffer}} while coded frames outside this range
are filtered out. The append window start and end times are controlled by the
{{SourceBuffer/appendWindowStart}} and {{SourceBuffer/appendWindowEnd}} attributes
respectively.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<dfn class="export">Coded Frame</dfn>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A unit of media data that has a [=presentation timestamp=], a [=decode timestamp=], and
a [=coded frame duration=].
</p>
</dd>

The duration of a [=coded frame=]. For video and text, the duration indicates how long
the video frame or text SHOULD be displayed. For audio, the duration represents the sum
of all the samples contained within the coded frame. For example, if an audio frame
contained 441 samples @44100Hz the frame duration would be 10 milliseconds.

<dd>
<p>
A group of [=coded frames=] that are adjacent and have monotonically increasing

The decode timestamp indicates the latest time at which the frame needs to be decoded
assuming instantaneous decoding and rendering of this and any dependant frames (this is
equal to the [=presentation timestamp=] of the earliest frame, in [=presentation
order=], that is dependant on this frame). If frames can be decoded out of
[=presentation order=], then the decode timestamp MUST be present in or derivable from
the byte stream. The user agent MUST run the [=append error=] algorithm if this is not
the case. If frames cannot be decoded out of [=presentation order=] and a decode
timestamp is not present in the byte stream, then the decode timestamp is equal to the
[=presentation timestamp=].

start time of 0.
</p>
<p class="note">
For the purposes of determining if {{HTMLMediaElement}}'s {{HTMLMediaElement/buffered}}

MAY choose to allow a current playback position at or after [=presentation start time=]
and before the first {{TimeRanges}} to play the first {{TimeRanges}} if that
{{TimeRanges}} starts within a reasonably short time, like 1 second, after
[=presentation start time=]. This allowance accommodates the reality that muxed streams
commonly do not begin all tracks precisely at [=presentation start time=].
Implementations MUST report the actual buffered range, regardless of this allowance.

<dfn id="presentation-interval">Presentation Interval</dfn>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The presentation interval of a [=coded frame=] is the time interval from its

duration|coded frame's duration=]. For example, if a coded frame has a presentation
timestamp of 10 seconds and a [=coded frame duration=] of 100 milliseconds, then the

<p>
A position in a [=media segment=] where decoding and continuous playback can begin
without relying on any previous data in the segment. For video this tends to be the
location of I-frames. In the case of audio, most audio frames can be treated as a
random access point. Since video tracks tend to have a more sparse distribution of
random access points, the location of these points are usually considered the random
access points for multiplexed streams.

<h2>
<dfn>MediaSource</dfn> interface
</h2>
<p>
The {{MediaSource}} interface represents a source of media data for an
{{HTMLMediaElement}}. It keeps track of the {{MediaSource/readyState}} for this source as
well as a list of <a>SourceBuffer</a> objects that can be used to add media data to the
presentation. MediaSource objects are created by the web application and then attached to
an HTMLMediaElement. The application uses the <a>SourceBuffer</a> objects in
{{MediaSource/sourceBuffers}} to add media data to this source. The HTMLMediaElement
fetches this media data from the <a>MediaSource</a> object when it is needed during
playback.
</p>
<p>
Each {{MediaSource}} object has a <dfn data-dfn-for="MediaSource">[[\live seekable
range]]</dfn> internal slot that stores a <a def-id="normalized-timeranges-object"></a>. It
is initialized to an empty {{TimeRanges}} object when the {{MediaSource}} object is
created, is maintained by {{MediaSource/setLiveSeekableRange()}} and
{{MediaSource/clearLiveSeekableRange()}}, and is used in [[[#htmlmediaelement-extensions]]]
to modify {{HTMLMediaElement}}'s {{HTMLMediaElement/seekable}} behavior.
</p>
<p>
Each {{MediaSource}} object has a <dfn data-dfn-for="MediaSource">[[\has ever been
attached]]</dfn> internal slot that stores a {{boolean}}. It is initialized to false when
the {{MediaSource}} object is created, and is set true in the extended
{{HTMLMediaElement}}'s [=resource fetch algorithm=] as described in the [=attaching to a
media element=] algorithm. The extended [=resource fetch algorithm=] uses this internal
slot to conditionally fail attachment of a {{MediaSource}} using a {{MediaSourceHandle}}
set on a {{HTMLMediaElement}}'s {{HTMLMediaElement/srcObject}} attribute.

<p>
On getting, run the following steps:
</p>
<ol>
<li>If the handle for this {{MediaSource}} object has not yet been created, then run the
