Putting CMCD v2 to the Test

Description

In this webcast, Constanza Dibueno will share her experience contributing to the implementation of the new version of the Common Media Client Data (CMCD) standard in open-source players. We’ll explore what CMCD is, why it matters, and how v1 and the emerging v2 differ in practice. Ms. Dibueno will walk through real examples of CMCD in action, the implementation work carried out as part of the Common Media Library project, and how CMCD is used to enable features like player synchronization and other experiments. Finally, we’ll look at what was learned along the way—from rapid prototyping to standardization efforts and close collaboration across teams. 

 
You’ll learn: 

• How CMCD works —what it is and why it improves streaming experiences. 

• What’s new in CMCD v2, and how it expands on the capabilities of v1. 

• How CMCD v2 behaves, illustrated with examples from open-source implementations. 

• How CMCD is used to enable player synchronization and other advanced features. 

• What was learned about prototyping, contributing to standards, and collaborating across teams.
