Front-end consistency discussion and update

The overall status of the front-end needs a review. Are there people using it? If so how do these people plan to use it?

The existing HEVC stream (CHH1) is not listed. Neither is CHDF. SS1 is in the CFHD tab... which makes it unclear to me whether "chunked" also belong to CFHD or to its own tab.

I could propose to create one tab for each of these: CHH1, CHDF, SS1, chunked.

Opinion?

Ideally the front end would keep some statistics about its use :)

I would be inclined to simplify the number of tabs and have one per codec. One per media profile might also make some sense but then the AVC 4.2 would be on its own which is silly.

My last comment is wrong (this is for the traffic of the repository on github). I couldn't find any way to get this information from github. Should we install a tool on the Website then? Which tool does CTA usually use?

The front end can be found at https://cta-wave.github.io/Test-Content/ This issue can be closed. A new one can be opened if necessary. CTA does not have a good solution for statistics. A better interface would be helpful. There is only one database.json in use. The cstf may want to add information to the front end as well.
