Abstract: Techniques described herein may allow for the flexible selection, and use of, various streaming techniques when a particular streaming technique is specified or required by a content player application. For example, some content player applications require the use of Hypertext Transfer Protocol Live Streaming (“HLS”). In some situations, other techniques, such as Moving Pictures Experts Group Dynamic Streaming over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (“MPEG-DASH”), may be preferable. The selection may be based on current operating conditions, such as whether a device, running the content player application, is using a WiFi or a cellular network. A local web proxy may be used to allow a content player application to request files using HLS, and may obtain the requested files using another streaming technique (e.g., MPEG-DASH). The obtained files may be transpackaged and provided to the content player application for presentation to a user.

Abstract translation: 当特定的流技术被内容播放器应用指定或要求时，本文描述的技术可以允许灵活地选择和使用各种流技术。 例如，一些内容播放器应用程序需要使用超文本传输​​协议直播（“HLS”）。 在某些情况下，其他技术，例如运动图像专家组通过超文本传输​​协议动态流（“MPEG-DASH”）可能是优选的。 选择可以基于当前的操作条件，例如运行内容播放器应用的设备是否正在使用WiFi或蜂窝网络。 可以使用本地web代理来允许内容播放器应用使用HLS请求文件，并且可以使用另一个流技术（例如，MPEG-DASH）获得所请求的文件。 所获得的文件可以被转包并提供给内容播放器应用以呈现给用户。
