    摘要: An adaptive streaming system is described herein that provides a stateless connection between the client and server for streaming media playback in which the data is formatted in a manner that allows the client to make decisions and react more quickly to changing network conditions. The client requests uniform chunks of media from the server that include a portion of the media. The adaptive streaming system requests portions of a media file or of a live streaming event in small-sized chunks each having a distinguished URL. This allows streaming media data to be cached by existing Internet cache infrastructure. Each chunk contains metadata information that describes the encoding of the chunk and media content for playback by the client. The server may provide chunks in multiple encodings so that the client can switch quickly to chunks of a different bit rate or playback speed.

    摘要: A sparse streaming system provides a first-class means for sparse metadata to be added to streaming media presentations and to be delivered using an integrated data channel that is cacheable using readily available HTTP-based Internet caching infrastructure for increased scalability. The sparse streaming system stores a reference to a sparse track within a continuous track. If a continuous fragment arrives at the client that refers to a sparse fragment that the client has not yet retrieved, then the client requests the sparse fragment. In addition, each sparse fragment may include a backwards reference to the sparse fragment created immediately prior. The references in the continuous fragments make the client aware of new sparse track fragments, and the backwards references in the sparse track fragments ensure that the client has not missed any intervening sparse track fragments.

    摘要: A streaming abstraction system is described herein that provides application developers a client software development kit (SDK) on top of which to build smooth streaming solutions. The system reduces development time considerably and abstracts platform specific intricacies and protocol handling on the client. In addition, the streaming abstraction system makes it possible to monetize streaming content with advanced features like advertising and analytics and provides advanced capabilities like multiple camera angles, diagnostics, and error handling. In some embodiments, the streaming abstraction system provides an intermediate layer that operates between an application and an underlying client media platform. The intermediate layer manages smooth streaming protocol handling as well as interactions with the platform-specific runtime.

    摘要: A multispeed playback system is described herein that allows for playback of smooth streaming media presentations at speeds other than the normal speed or direction, while still using an underlying platform that does not natively support multispeed. The system provides frames to the underlying platform so that the platform is still playing 1× content while the system manipulates video and/or audio samples being fed to the platform to make rendered data look appropriately for a selected speed and direction. The system may feed the underlying platform frames at a faster rate or skip every other frame for faster playback, or may feed each frame to the underlying platform multiple times for slower playback. Thus, the multispeed playback system allows a client application developer to provide users with expected multispeed playback at the client without encoding multiple different streams at the server.

    摘要翻译: 这里描述了一种多速播放系统,其允许以不同于正常速度或方向的速度播放流畅的流媒体呈现,同时仍然使用本地支持多速度的底层平台。 该系统向底层平台提供帧,使得平台仍然在播放1×内容,同时系统操纵将视频和/或音频样本馈送到平台,以使渲染数据在选定的速度和方向上适当地看起来。 系统可以以更快的速度馈送底层平台帧,或者跳过每隔一帧以便更快的播放,或者可以将每个帧多次馈送到底层平台以进行更慢的播放。 因此,多速播放系统允许客户端应用程序开发人员在客户端向用户提供预期的多速播放,而无需在服务器上编码多个不同的流。
