Could someone provide a definitive answer to the current state of support of MPEG2-TS under MPEG-DASH with various browsers especially Chromecast?

There are proofs that Chromecast can do mp4 and webm via MPEG-DASH. But I do not see any clear confirmation of support or non-support on MPEG2-TS.

My guess is that base on the non-support of MPEG2-TS in Google's MSE, Chromecast is not likely to support MPEG2-TS with MPEG-DASH. But I would like a firm confirmation.

Any other mainstream browsers that may support MPEG DASH/MPEG2-TS?

Thanks

    The ChromeCast website (https://developers.google.com/cast/supported_media_types) clearly indicates that MPEG2-TS is not supported. Also, support in Chrome is listed here (https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/audio-video). I do not believe that any major browsers intend on supporting MPEG2-TS and MSE. Chrome and IE 11 are the only browsers, I believe, to currently offer MSE support and neither supports MPEG2-TS. I imagine if Apple puts MSE support into Safari it would support MPEG2-TS, but I don't think that's coming any time soon. – Nathan Sep 18 '13 at 15:19
  • Thanks for the comment. As my message indicated that I am aware the Chromecast MSE currently does not support MPEG2-TS. My question was on Chromecase MPEG-DASH MPEG2-TS support. Closely related questions but not identical. – user2789276 Sep 18 '13 at 17:05
  • I specifically linked to the media that Chromecast supports. Also, Chromecast *is* Chrome, so it's unlikely that MPEG2-TS will be supported on Chromecast if it is not supported on Chrome. – Nathan Sep 20 '13 at 12:27

Take a look at the Media Player Libraries and the new Chromecast SDK's. MPEG2-TS is supported in Chromecast.
