Abstract: A device for processing media content obtains data from a box within a file conforming to a file format for a video codec, the box comprising a syntax structure that includes the data, the file being associated with the media content and the media content being coded according to the video codec; and determines, based on the data obtained from the box, whether to accept or reject the media content associated with the file. A device for generating media content generates data in a box within a file conforming to a file format, the box comprising a syntax structure that includes the data, the file being associated with the media content, wherein the data is for use in determining whether a client is to accept or reject the media content associated with the file; and outputs the file.

Abstract: A proxy unit is configured to obtain mapping information that maps an identifier for media data to a resource location based on a service for retrieving the media data, wherein the service defines at least one of a plurality of types of transports for transporting the media data, receive a request for the media data from an application service client, determine whether the service is available, and, when the service is available, cause the application service client to receive the media data from a unit that receives the media data using the service from the resource location, based on the mapping information. In this manner, the application service client may receive media data from the unit (e.g., a middleware unit), which then receives the media data using a service that defines transport according to, e.g., broadcast or multicast transport, or another fashion (e.g., unicast) if the defined transport is unavailable.

Abstract: Content (e.g., multimedia streams, audio-video streams, video files, text, etc.) may be delivered to receiver devices over a broadcast channel and/or via a broadcast network via components (e.g., servers, receiver device, software applications, modules, processes, etc.) configured to communicate the content in a manner that reduces the amount of information communicated over the broadcast network, reduces the amount network bandwidth consumed by the communication, meets precise timing requirements for the individual objects that are communicated, and enables each receiver device to receive, decode, and render the content without consuming an excess amount of that receiver device's battery or processing resources.

Abstract: An example device for retrieving media data includes one or more processors implemented in circuitry and configured to receive a manifest file including data indicating a number of segment chunks available for a segment of a representation of media data, the segment comprising an independently retrievable media file having a unique uniform resource locator (URL), determine an identifier for one of the chunks using the data indicating the number of chunks available for the segment, and send a request specifying the identifier for the one of the chunks to a server device.

Abstract: In one example, a device includes one or more processors configured to determine that a manifest file for media content indicates that the media content includes a first period and a second period, that the manifest file indicates that the first and second periods are continuous, and that advertisement media data is available for insertion between the first and second periods, select a first adaptation set in the first period based at least in part on characteristics signaled for the first adaptation set, retrieve media data of the first adaptation set based on the selection of the first adaptation set, retrieve the advertisement media data, and retrieve media data of a second adaptation set in the second period that the manifest file indicates is associated with the first adaptation set based on the selection of the first adaptation set and store the retrieved media data to a memory.

Abstract: A device for encoding and sending media data includes a scheduler unit that schedules transmission of media data, a media encoder, and a transmitter that transmits according to a schedule formed by the scheduler unit. The scheduler unit sends a first set of data to the media encoder representing a number of media segments of the media data to be broadcast and a time at which the media data must be available for delivery at the transmitter of the media broadcast device. The media encoder sends a second set of data representing a first number of estimated encoding bytes for the media data to the media encoder. The scheduler unit sends, to the transmitter, the number of media segments including respective portions of the encoded media data at or before the time at which the media data must be available for delivery at the transmitter.

Abstract: Methods for delivering application content signaling information may include a generating a metadata fragment for application content items of an application to be acquired by a receiver device, adding to the metadata fragment a first set of attributes indicating that rendering of a linear service or a group of linear services is performed by a media player embedded in the application, and transmitting the metadata fragment to the receiver device. The first set of attributes may include an application launch page or launch file indicator for the application, and/or an indication of required capabilities for rendering the application and associated application content items. The first set of attributes may include a start time and an end time for at least one distribution window for the application, and the at least one distribution window may be associated with information about auxiliary application content delivered during the at least one distribution window.
