    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided to support placeshifting of adaptive media streams. A home device acts as an intermediary that passes requests for segments of an adaptive stream from a remote device to a content source. The content source responds with the requested segments, which are forwarded to the remote device. A connection service may be provided to facilitate placeshifting sessions between home and remote devices.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for estimating packet loss during media streaming over a data connection. A media player requests segments of an adaptive media stream and monitors variance in the amounts of data received. Increased variance in the amounts of data received can be directly correlated to a higher packet loss experienced by the data connection. The media player can use the estimated packet loss to adapt subsequent segment requests, or to otherwise subsequent behavior by the media player.

    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided to arbitrate network bandwidth that is shared between multiple video players executing concurrently on one or more client platforms that each have at least one video data stream supplied over a data network. An amount of bandwidth available from the data network is determined. An arbitration module calculates whether the selected video players can sustain a video playback quality above a pre-defined threshold using the determined amount of bandwidth available, and a modify playback message is sent to at least one video player when the video playback quality is not sustainable. Various implementations could prioritize bandwidth based upon the content presented so that high-bandwidth scenes (e.g., action sequences) receive more bandwidth than more static scenes.
