In "MeeGo Smart TV WG Meeting Minutes for 9/20/2011" I noticed: > o Dilip Kenchammana: Qt with HTML5 layer Dilip has > provided a white paper via e-mail. Discussion postponed to next meeting.
Is it possible to get a copy of this whitepaper? I have serious concerns all-around over the approach being taken, and am curious how a number of issues are being resolved. Especially w/r/t/ security, and also because silly breakage needs to be done to very hairy browser code in order to "poke holes" for video acceleration and/or DRM-protection. And once that breakage has been perpetrated, a tidal-wave of bugreports will ensue because the HTML5 standard permits "canvas" like operations on top of the video; also dynamically altering the video frame. An extreme example: http://www.craftymind.com/factory/html5video/CanvasVideo.html Especially troubling for the "Tizen" approach, are statements like: http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-tv/2011-September/000103.html > Q: Narm, is there privacy controls to prevent rogue JavaScript from accessing > private data. > A: Doninique, not that he's seen. Designed for closed system. > Access to scripts and code inside the box is limited by physical security. .............
