Abstract: A method for assigning videos to multi-stream and single-stream decoders is disclosed. The method determines a ranking of each of a plurality of videos. The method further identifies a type of each video for at least part of the plurality of videos. The method also determines a configuration of a plurality of hardware decoders to decode a subset of the plurality of videos for simultaneous presentation on a screen of a user device. The configuration may define a mode of each of the plurality of decoders. The method further assigns the subset of videos to the plurality of hardware decoders for decoding according to the configuration.
