摘要： Apparatus and methods for recording a media stream for use by a rendering device. In one embodiment, a client device records live, unbound streaming media content from a Content Delivery Network (CDN) in "chunks" according to a data structure such as a manifest file. The live media content stream chunks are compressed and stored for later playback. The client device uses information regarding the chunks to generate a local manifest file, which it then uses to reconstruct the media stream. A video client may also dynamically insert and account for updated secondary content (such as advertisements) during each playback instance, thus enabling the service provider to realize commercial opportunities which were previously not possible. Various operational/business rules are also disclosed for e.g., enabling and disabling functions with respect to playback of the content.

摘要翻译： 记录媒体流以供呈现设备使用的装置和方法。 在一个实施例中，客户端设备根据诸如清单文件的数据结构从“块”中的内容传送网络（CDN）记录实时，未绑定的流媒体内容。 实时媒体内容流块被压缩和存储以供稍后播放。 客户机设备使用关于块的信息来生成本地清单文件，然后使用该文件重建媒体流。 视频客户端还可以在每个回放实例期间动态地插入和更新更新的次要内容（例如广告），从而使服务提供商能够实现以前不可能的商业机会。 还公开了各种操作/业务规则，例如，关于内容的回放的启用和禁用功能。
