The Streaming Video Technology Alliance , the international technical association delivering solutions across the video workflow to improve the delivery of high-quality video at scale, has introduced its first public open source repo, the Common Media Library (CML). The project was born out of the SVTA Players and Playback Working Group to build a standard set of player functionality that can be deployed across different .js players to help reduce the amount of individual player development that has to be accomplished to make functionality consistent. SVTA member companies contributing to this project include Amazon Web Services, Comcast, Brightcove, Paramount, Qualabs, and Synamedia. Akamai, not an SVTA member, also contributed to the project.
“The launch of SVTA’s initial public repository is a significant step forward, opening doors for non-SVTA members to contribute to the development of software. It’s also a clear example of the positive impact of SVTA’s Working Groups,” said Casey Occhialini, SVTA CML Project Lead and Principal Software Engineer at Paramount. “I look forward to being onsite next week at Demuxed 2023 to share more about the SVTA’s first public open source repo and to collaborate and hear from other industry experts on challenges they are tackling in streaming video players.”

As part of this project, the SVTA contributors to the CML will provide their input to this week’s Fall 2023 hls-interest meeting, hosted by Apple. The in-person event will include updates about the latest HTTP Live Streaming and HLS.js across all platforms, in addition to community discussions and a live Q&A with members of the Apple media streaming engineering team. CML contributors will also be at Demuxed 2023, in San Francisco from October 24 to 25, to talk more about the project, the problems it proposes to solve, and how to get involved.
“Our public open source repo not only symbolizes the SVTA’s commitment to innovation but also underscores our dedication to collaboration – it’s a significant milestone, and there will definitely be future public repo projects now that we have an established framework and approach for handling non-member contributions,” said Jason Thibeault, Executive Director at the Streaming Video Technology Alliance. “Member participation in this week’s Fall 2023 hls-interest meeting underscores the relevance and importance of the project within the industry.”
