🗺️ @media-runtime Open Contributor Roadmap

We welcome open-source contributions from developers worldwide! Below is a list of high-priority tasks and feature ideas categorized by difficulty and domain. Pick any task that interests you, open an issue/PR, and let's build the future of native browser media together!

🟢 Good First Issues (Beginner Friendly)

  • Custom Container Demuxers:
    • Add demuxer support for .wav (RIFF WAVE header parser).
    • Add demuxer support for .aac (ADTS frame header parser).
    • Add demuxer support for .mp3 (ID3v2 tag stripper & MP3 frame header parser).
  • UI Controls & Skins:
    • Add a Playback Speed Selector dropdown component (0.5x, 1.0x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 2.0x).
    • Add Quality / Rendition Selector popup menu component.
    • Create an alternative sleek "Light Glassmorphism" UI theme CSS.
  • Stream Adapters:
    • Implement a FetchStreamSource with custom retry/exponential backoff strategy.
    • Implement a LocalFileStreamSource with Drag-and-Drop file picker support.

🟡 Core & Parser Features (Intermediate)

  • Manifest & Adaptive Streaming:
    • Add support for HLS #EXT-X-KEY AES-128 segment decryption in @media-runtime/manifest.
    • Enhance DASH .mpd parser to support SegmentTimeline with $Time$ and $Number$ variable replacements.
    • Add Low-Latency HLS (LL-HLS) partial segment (#EXT-X-PART) prefetching.
  • Subtitle Engine (@media-runtime/subtitle):
    • Implement WebVTT Cue settings parsing (align, line, position, size).
    • Add WebGL text outline shader for crisp SSA/ASS karaoke rendering at 4K resolution.
    • Add TTML / DFXP XML subtitle parser adapter.
  • OS & Hardware Integration (@media-runtime/os-integration):
    • Implement AirPlay target detection and presentation controller.
    • Implement Chrome / Edge Remote Playback API adapter.

🔴 Advanced Engine & Security Tasks (Advanced)

  • WebGPU Video Renderer (@media-runtime/renderer):
    • Complete the WebGPU fragment shader pipeline using importExternalTexture(videoFrame) for zero-copy 1080p/4K rendering.
  • WebWorker Pipeline & OffscreenCanvas:
    • Implement OffscreenCanvas transfer in @media-runtime/worker so video rendering happens 100% off the main thread.
  • Fuzzing & Security Targets (@media-runtime/security):
    • Expand FuzzTarget coverage for Matroska EBML variable-size integer parsers.
    • Add automated CI fuzzing report generator.
