    Abstract: Multimedia distribution systems are disclosed in which servers communicate with clients via audio, video, overlay and/or control channels. In many instances, the audio, video and/or overlay information is transcoded prior to transmission. In many embodiments, the servers and/or clients can be updated. In several embodiments, the updates can be performed in a manner that preserves the ability of all devices connected to a network to communication. One embodiment of the invention includes a server (12) connected to a client (20) via a network (14) and at least one storage device (24) containing audio, video and/or overlay information formatted in accordance with a first format. In addition, the client (20) includes a storage device (56) that stores information indicative of the audio, video and/or overlay formats that the client is capable of decoding and the server (12) is configured to transmit audio, video, overlay and control information via separate audio (17a), video (17b) and overlay (17c)and control channels (19).

    Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive bitrate streaming of media stored in Matroska container files utilizing Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor requests portions of files from a remote server and retrieves top level index data that identifies EBML container files and describes a maximum bitrate of the alternative streams contained within the EBML container files. The top level index data is parsed to obtain information identifying the EBML container files, requests a portion of at least one of the EBML container files that contains the at least one element that specifies the encoding parameters of the stream contained within the EBML container file, and requests portions of a first EBML container file that includes elements that contain portions of encoded video, where the selection is based upon the measured streaming conditions and the description of the bitrate of the alternative stream contained within the top level data.
