Abstract: The present disclose describes techniques for delivery and playback of media using identifiers for offline playback, According to these techniques, a segment of media to be played may be identified from a manifest file. It may be determined whether the identical segment is available in local storage. When the identified segment is available in local storage, an identifier of the identified segment contained in the manifest file may be compared to an identifier of the segment in local storage. If the identifiers match, the segment may be played from local storage. Otherwise, the identified segment may be retrieved from a network location.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved video formats used in delivery and playback are presented. According to an embodiment, the movie package format contains tiers that provide for multiple sets of movie variations that are individually selectable for transfer to a device for local playback. A locally stored movie package may contain any subset of available tiers for a movie. Non-resident tiers can be discovered and downloaded into the movie package as needed or when available. Tiers, and other movie files may be updated or added to the movie package at any time. Then users can request updates or the updates can be pushed to the user without affecting the previously downloaded files.

Abstract: System and methods for storing streamed media data to memory for future playback are provided. A device may stream media data associated with a movie over a network connection. The data streamed to the device will be saved to device memory and will then be playable offline. A manifest associated with the media data will be downloaded to the device and modified to reflect the location of the locally stored media data. During subsequent playback of the media data, the manifest will indicate that at least a portion of the media data exists in local memory. Some portions of the media data not stored locally may be subsequently retrieved from a remote source. The stored data may be updated or added to as necessary.
