DELIVERING CACHEABLE STREAMING MEDIA PRESENTATIONS

Server (i.e., chunk) (fragment) media fragment containing information (incremental) increment to, binding between a client and a server non-conserved-type protocol state of conventional by providing the soft eliminating the use of a control channel (smooth streaming system) streaming system. are described herein. Furthermore, server coupled to the media fragment, to give a response and uniform media fragment (i.e., same piece of request a client obtain the same response), clicking a stopped picture menu thereby a streaming media data cache infrastructure may cache outputs a relay driving signal.. Each segment comprising a, cache browser of at least a fragment Internet cache server and a client identified by both the from the body unit to the cache has a distinctive URL (Uniform Resource Locator). The caching and more for reducing the load on the server the same time and at the same client outputs a relay driving signal. ball content. Soft the streaming system comprises one or more encoder receives and pieces media data from, and for generating an index of each piece, stores the pieces. Discharge progress to event, event end server requested by the client until provides piece of. The each piece, for reproduction by client (playback) causes a piece of media content in addition, server, and controls the encoding of bits which can be used in encoding of pieces includes metadata information described. Client, for example, based on the state network other bits or reproducing speeds in two pieces to quickly switch to the server that provides a plurality of encoding chunked into by using the mask pattern.. Client server, client data too fast or too slow for the-requested and determine whether information which allows the receiving each piece may provided within the, and enables a server rate the request client encoder data is being received on a rate (cadence) a cadence. can adapt to. Therefore, soft streaming system without track the state a client, client a local client from cache server latencies in a low latency while increasing the probability for introducing the method provides for receiving encrypted media from a extended further provides media server.

In some embodiment, soft streaming system interaction between a server and a client of the specific data transmission format use an. Client portion of media from a server that piece of media including a request. For example, file to 400,000 ingredient 10, the client can request a 2 seconds pieces. Pushing the data to client server unlike streaming conventional (push), media fragment from a server and client case an. that attracts the (pull). Live stream, in order to respond to client requests server in generates a media (on the fly) to produce the pieces and may be proposed. Therefore, server how rapidly to produce the pieces and client how rapidly pieces in of whether the request, the client only transmits or receives signals to or several pieces can be lagged only.

Each piece meta data and includes media content. Metadata, a larger media content is whether corresponding to must be of media elements (for example, the statue embodies the 10 ingredient exhibits offset 1:10 in video clip 400,000), media content is encoded bit rate, media content such as CODEC used to encode useful information at a for media content may be described. Client radiation of a greater pieces of media elements story board is closed by the media content appropriately decodes for playing back the this information is used.

Figure 1 shows a form also the streaming softness in one embodiment, which illustrates the components of a separation system is block. Soft streaming system (100) the register event components (110), encoder interface component (120), index pieces components (130), pieces data storage (140), client interface component (150), constructing client manipulator pest components (160), clock synchronization components (170) includes. Further wherein each these components is the description.

Register event components (110) the system to the central cache server the encoded media available to receive data live or other media event receives information about the a. Information encoded media data to the server for each encoder supply network address or other can include an identifier. Information encoded media data encoder client are supplied into the chamber and a media data related to the functional unit also includes a URL.

Encoder interface component (120) the system and an encoded media data at least one encoder provides an interface between a. Common network encoder attached to the system protocol can be and pushes out the data. For example, encoder encoded media to a system in order to provide data ID request HTTP POST. Encoder of encoded media data that is a source of encoder each URL a distinctive specific window is used as an ion injection, server when a to register media event is formed of a pressure sensor applying components event register to (110) by may confirm each the information that was received.

Encoder interface component (120) the MP4 or other media container (for example, MKV) such as the received encoded of media data can specify an format specifically. MP4 container multiple one file format may be associated with types of data outputs a relay driving signal.. MP4 a container and called a box individual data, each box typically the same type of data or stored on an has label identifying. Encoder the encoded media that as well as data itself, encoded media data encoding used to encode metadata information such as the type of assistance can be to position the semiconductor wafer within the box.

Index pieces components (130) different index of a fragment received from the encoders creates and maintains a the table. System (100) from many encoders potential continues to (on-going basis) during an event since the receiving media fragment, system (100) any media fragment is received from encoder any become and (or any format) helper index for tracking table is used. Angle encoder common to identify media fragment can be used in method (for example, synchronization using clocks that are time stamp), index pieces components (130) the live events at different representing the same period as the encoders from the objective compound. (correlate) in a relation pieces. In this way, system (100) losses of the media fragment can detect when piece on usable media and provided (manifest information) information pest manipulator can be provides to the client the.

Pieces data store (140) the, based on client requests received is generated to provide to the client causes a piece of index table and stores the received media pieces. Database URLs data pieces, other forms of data store or disk drive (for example, clouds or SAN (Storage Area Network) based storage service) may comprise an.

[...] interface component (150) the medium for a piece receives a client request to the clients provides media fragment data and pest manipulator. [...] originally system (100) in real time in accordance with, client a client can send a request pest manipulator.. Client interface component (150) has building client manipulator pest components (160) system (100) is also operable from the encoding and index according to the system until the current (100) piece stored by including information about. thereby causing it to generate a represent. Live pieces which normally go undetected client request for a temporal portion previous presentation starts or and control is returned to the, use can be made of, information which a. The, for example, a live event already in progress client subscribes to catch portion previous event loaded in a cleaning apparatus may be used in the.

Constructing client manipulator pest components (160) the system to the central cache server (100) is also operable from the encoding and to date system (100) each of pieces stored by satisfying client requests including information for constructing a (manifest) represent. Constructing client manipulator pest components (160) has potentially subsequent piece current media as well as pieces of the information provides to the client the carving and together each media represent may be loaded with presented that comprises. Each media and pest manipulator received originally carving and is provided along a subsequent by pest manipulator, transmitted to a terminal from the start of the client media event to fully information latest including. may build a pest manipulator. Media event is completed, the client, client connects media event that can be used to present media event has a story board complete.

In some embodiment, client interface component (150) the, client media fragment after of the user is available request is then predetermined amount of time in a manner rubber to. respond to client requests. For example, system (100) the encoder receiving one or more subsequent pieces until system (100) a particular media fragment may not an error can occur in the. The system that are being (100) for a piece subsequent response pieces the current may include information pest manipulator outputs a relay driving signal.. System (100) with each media fragment subsequent can be expected client number of pieces may be provided to offer respective clients. The client is hint timing. Subsequent which is fewer than the number provided with a client piece together with information related media fragment if it has received at, the client data from the server client-requested too fast for a can be deemed to be. While, is larger than the number provided with a client piece with the information for subsequent if it has received at media fragment, the client request data from the server client too slowly can be deemed to be. Therefore, in response to the request pieces specific otherwise, constructing components pest manipulator (160) the system to the central cache server (100) is subsequent data received received up until that point piece provides information pest manipulator provided.

Clock synchronization components (170) the system to the central cache server (100), client and. synchronizing the clocks of encoder. The absolute time is system (100) but unrelated and, over multiple encoders specific pieces and that may identify a rate at which the request pieces to the client (i.e., cadence) providing a system (100) relates to. For example, client data too rapidly if a wireless client requests the, data yet server that does not have error response (for example, HTTP 404 not found error response) respond, a number of inner walls extending from consumption bandwidth fact that an out-of-the calculated is will generate request (spurious). While, if a wireless client requests the client data too slowly, in a timely manner for the reproduction of the client data electrodes come into contact with the top a media played to the user for interruption can be harnessed at load can be produced. Furthermore, which can differ from the completely encoder produces media fragment encoding, same representing a period of time different encoding significant which correlates to a piece of two 2 and does not provide a method where the pieces of media event total timeline must be not inform chauvinist that fit. Clock synchronization components (170) the, server, encoder and client is at similar clock value by. information and presents that information. Each media encoder to produce the pieces encoder pieces may be loaded with display the time ratio. In this way, a particular client message from an UPnP pieces, encoding client selects a client, the same representing a voiceless duration time are recorded pieces is obtained.

Soft streaming system is implemented which operations can be applied a central processing unit conceived to device, memory, input device (for example, keyboard and pointing device), output device (for example, display device), and storage device (for example disk drive or other non-volatile storage medium) may comprise an. Implement or a system memory and storage device so that they are suspendible computer-executable enabling (computer-executable) command (for example, software) they require can be encoded in a computer-readable storage medium is. Furthermore, stored or structure architecture and a message data signal on communication link transmission media data, such as may to be transmitted via a. Internet, LAN (local area network), WAN (wide area network), point-to-point dial up transmission, portable telephone network communications link is of a polyimide resin, such can be used.

The LookAheadFragmentCount, such as "TrackFragmentReferenceBox" is refers to subsequent reference to the exhibits and number target piece. "IsLive" the live broadcast is still exhibits whether the continues.

In some embodiment, client request on when a particular media pieces, soft subsequent streaming system provides information about the media fragment. For example, server several additional pieces (for example 2 pieces) of the user is available specific pieces prepared until purpose: an instrument for an endoscope. Furthermore, several a component pieces server for a piece manipulator pest information can be transmitted along with the. The client information, capable of properly acyl whether and what and usable in particular for adaptive. The client request rates intelligently transcribes the. each frame, the driver applies maintaining. For example, client pieces after which the request for the piece not have information, client data that it request too fast. found to be. Client has flaked after too much code and for a piece when it receives information, client information too slowly can be requesting the. Therefore, advanced client hint inscriptions metadata can be adaptively use as.

Subsequent media for a piece information using a custom box (custom box) may be stored in container MP4. For example, a 'traf' box said server next defined by a hypertext "Track FragmentReferenceBox". can be inserted.

The box the Fragment_count the same references immediately after track specifies a number of pieces. Segment comprising a MP4 stream those occurring in the is listed in the same order. The number is at least 1. Subsequent Fragment_absolute_time first piece of the sample indicative of absolute time stamp specifies a 32 bit or 64 bit integer. Subsequent Fragment_duration denoting the length of the pieces 32 bit or 64 bit integer specifies a. (Such as' fragment_count ') subsequent box "TrackFragmentReferenceBox" the number of pieces is setting configurable server. When receiving a request to has flaked server, a server, such as value sufficient to attain a "TrackFragmentReferenceBox" subsequent pieces preserved, which normal control set cache default server code handling response can be along a path.

At least one server instead, however "TrackFragmentReferenceBox" not sufficient to attain a subsequent pieces of a liquid if this has a, server still limited subsequent pieces to information of return immediately pieces response. A cache timeout value for a small server (pieces along the length) may be established a tight to the future "TrackFragmentReferenceBox" will update the responses with. can be expected.

Also Figure 2 shows a program and windows program in one embodiment Internet information server (Internet Information Server) (IIS) using soft streaming system of is block, which illustrates the operating environment. Client source usually environment (210), content delivery network (240) and external networks (270) includes a. Source is source live media or client. Source client media source (220) and at least one encoder (230) includes. Media source (220) provided the each to the number of camera angle a camera, audio acquisition a microphone (microphone capture audio), slide presentation, (such as closed caption out of service and) full text, Image and other types of media may comprise an. Encoder (230) the medium source (220) data from the one or more encoding format encodes in parallel. For example, encoder (230) different media encoded in bit rate can be produced.

Soft streaming system operates content delivery network (240) one or more adapter for now (ingest) server (250) and at least one source of (origin) server (260) includes. now server (250) the encoder (230) the method provides for receiving encrypted media encoded encoding formats each from encoded media generates represent described. now server (250) a media fragment the described herein for generating and can store an, as requested or flakes may be loaded with the instant generated. now server (250) through HTTP POST the pushed data or encoder (230) from pulling by requesting data encoder or the like through the (pull) (230) can be received from. Encoder (230) and now server (250) different redundant configuration may be connected to. For example, each encoder the encoded media that now until causing failure data server (250) to the second computer server now one step or can be sent to. Source server (260) the medium for a piece is of servers that respond to client requests. Source server (260) are configured in redundant different may be.

In some embodiment, server now (250) the encoder media streams Croma burst now leveling non-a process of a crawler by quickly. include at least one server. The (author) to content authors by whether or not the, server now (250) of media elements a particular client (for example, live event) find book points defining a URL can be produced. For example, using IIS, URL manager can be "http://ingserver/pubpoint. isml" a book. The book encoder (230) comprises the media data server now (250) is used to provide an, source server (260) by server now (250) is used to request a media data from. Angle encoder now server (250), which are characterised for connecting to using URL can be server now (250) the same data may detect different encoding. For example, based on URL in above, encoder "http://ingserver/pubpoint. isml/Streams (stream1)" using URL server now to provide media data in HTTP POST can be, it sends. now server (250) the now server (250) client (for example, source server (260)) by received for that future recovery (retrieval) stores the data. MP4 the POST various types of containers, may include a media format. MP4 container a variety of different types of called box includes information, this is typically provided to account for the type encodings of the used "ftyp" and a audiovisual data including such as a 4 "moov" is label of codes of at letter. MP4 using thrown format container other thrown, encoder represent that describes a of media elements including "ManifestBox" such as a box or stream can be adds information.

now server (250) is upon receiving the data request, server now (250) the previously stored data provides. now server (250) the, available encoder stream identifying data from particular stream request and pest manipulator encoder stream (including part of of stream data) request including some types of can be the HS-LAN. Type of request-balancing of requests can be identified by URL. For example, server now (250) when receiving a URL is "http://ingserver/pubpoint. isml/StreamManifest", server now (250) each available identifier for a file system object and the encoders including encoder then returns a pest manipulator. now server (250) is "http://ingserver/pubpoint. isml/Streams (stream1)" receives on when a URL, now server (250) has an identifier "Encoder1" associated with encoder in response and transmits the corresponding media streams. Response the above cached "ftyp," "ManifestBox," and "moov" box and along data and MP4 such as a FIFO in at least those of the output may include a media fragment. now server (250) the "StartTime (12345678)/ http://ingserver/pubpoint. isml/Streams (stream1)" portion and the data request (for example, fail (failover) during scenario) may be receiving, the now server (250) is "ftyp," "ManifestBox," and "moov" box omit transmission of the closest the time stamp in particular attempts to starting from media fragment outputs a relay driving signal..

Source server (260) the medium client media stream from a now, assembles one or more request server (250) being requested from an. having to retrieve the media stream. now server (250) such as a, on a server serving as a reference to content authors by whether or not the book server now for applying for home address and registering points (250) and/or an encoder URL associated to a book. Source server (260) first controls the (for example, using HTTP GET request) using streams of server now represent described (250) can be requests from a. Then source server on the stream of each of the encoders value of a statistical item corresponding server now submit request for, received from an encoder server now as a response media streams requested.

Source server (260) the, media stream by a dielectric layer is provided a larger media elements indicating a section of media fragment and media stream manipulator pest controls servo by reading the defect information can be receiving. Source server (260) has a source server (260) may correlate data from each encoder is a provided by each encoder the time stamps or other based on the identifier each stream received from a constructing an index for each piece. Source server (260) from the data received, media client in responding to requests, their own MP4 or other container. can be constructed even if the storage format. Live from the events known the format of the file by building a, source server unified media file snatching after event capable of providing download can be.

Source server (260) when the media receives a client request, source server (260) the server is established index an encoder manipulator pest (are) a static (static) received from stream information by appending the identification tag to the client generates represent. When there is a multiple streams, source server (260) (comprehensive) ISDN represent the stream a merged into a pest manipulator client. The client, source server (260) from the reference voltage but not to discharge rapidly profit information and to an encoding request client early value of a selective type such that they may be a. Such as response HTTP server existing Internet infrastructure a standard can be cached by the type of response provides represent to the client. Over time a data pest manipulator to vary, short response to pest manipulator server a cache timeout values (for example, TTL (time to live)) may be used to establish a..

External network (270) the edge server (280) and other Internet (or other network) infrastructure and client (290) includes. For a piece the media client test, and other tests that the request, the client sends a request to the source server (260) for addressing the.. Since the design of network caching, edge server (280) inclusion data one of, its edges without forwarding the request server can respond to the client. However, use in edge server data is unavailable, edge server a request source server (260) transmits it to one. Similarly, source server (260) one are not available upon receiving the request for data, source server server now (250) from one can be requesting data.

Figure 3 shows a media encoder in one embodiment also for receiving data is flow, which illustrates the system processing. Block (310) begins the in, media encoder one or more the system available to receive data that describes a media event receives a cuts -registration (registration). For example, event registration ID (identification) of each encoder, description of media event, providing the media data the encoded and encoder includes the URL. Block 320 continuously surface, by parsing stream incoming system, system all can be expected and pest manipulator stream describing encoder stream, stream with symptoms of own be available for the media data acquires represent a server described. System pulling or push model.. For example, requesting a configuration information of the encoder system HTTP GET control can send to encoder request, or system simply as part of the stream information can be received from encoder.

In the case of "push" (for example, encoder POST) in the case of, a custom pest manipulator of both of the beginning of a contained in stream of box, and to be no request to resize, maps a distributed pilot represent system. In the case of "pulling" (for example, server GET) to, stream cannot be applications pest manipulator (book point defined temperature includes information), thereof as box custom system includes information. A pest manipulator stream, downstream the server and the client otherwise from encoder before presenting data of the stream is obtained server are used to specific set. Stream without pest manipulator, but not all, of encoder stream server grabs a piece as a race condition exists and, downstream server or client receives the incompletely the annotation layer is obtain. Each incoming information and presents that information the encoder stream represent a stream, because it includes the, any stream is that it does not specify expected in autonomous system is ("Self-managing").

Block 330 continuously surface, system: this recorder receives represent encoder from each encoder. Of the encoder system merges and together pest manipulator, the system is of knowing which the media encoding by the client interest by the function of the to a combined to relates to ICs and stores the represent. Block 340 continuously surface, receives a media fragment from encoder system. Timestamp media fragment, identifier of encoder which encode media pieces, and media for a piece may comprise an other information. Any pieces system in stream user stream identification know and in addition any encoder stream and thus generating the fetched because it has identifying data for the marked, encoder identifier not commonly used. Block 350 continuously surface, system received media pieces indexing and, on usable media from the system system for catalog pieces index held by the additional index information listed in tables so that individual asset. Different system encoders in parallel by that generated as a media fragment the index form the peculiar associated with media fragment, use can be made of, time stamp.

Block 360 continuously surface, system pieces and index information, piece and order to satisfy the client requests later having to retrieve the index information a data store by storing an a storage pieces. Block 370 continuously surface, system, a fragment received information about the by adding a pest manipulator, the media fragment is part media event information relating to constructing a represent server including. System from media fragment thereof that exist when the client give client information is provided to on when a is connected, this server provides to the client pest manipulator. When event, the classification chain ends, a pest manipulator server, for independently providing on-demand (on-demand) song pattern of media event may be provided to the client for media event complete including a description of the specific use.. Block 380 continuously surface, more from the encoder system surface the interest rates of pieces (for example, live event is still in progress), encoder system of 340 block to receive pieces reducing a wire loop (loop) and, otherwise system is ended.

One also Figure 4 shows a embodiment for streaming media in the client connection man-machine interface using system processing, which illustrates the flow is. Block 410 begins the in, system. receiving a request pest manipulator from a client. Live event, many client simultaneously although it is possible, at the start of both-event does not connection. For example, media fragment of the data includes medical 2 visual-event client in real time in accordance with inputting minutes after 1, available from the system 2000 faces already held at least a fragment 30. Client for encoding event from a system (system and provide data to is determined by an encoder) initial for determining and pest manipulator for a piece that exist when. method for requesting information on a. Server and the client state connection between as in a significant the type non-conserved. Particular client in a subway or a building server does not pager subscriber information through a dedicated resource. Rather, any server a request which listening to the, pieces or certain each request in requesting and other information, server in response to a request to request to a server client otherwise and status or history specifically for the next request without track of. way.

Block 420 continuously surface, a fragment received system originally and system encoder represent request received when client requests based on information encoder for time switch conforming device for constructing a represent. The available pest manipulator client describing encoding of pest manipulator each encoder since it is impossible to make the portion and static fusion is the server from encoder describes media fragment includes dynamic portion. Block 430 continuously surface, system respond to client requests the client established client provides represent. In some embodiment, standard request HTTP response HTTP GET request and response is (for example, 200 OK). On the response system can be is directly related of cache in, reasonable in the amount of time the subsequent client request is Internet caching infrastructure can be serviced by. However, dynamic pest manipulator portion since the heat the old and snatching, too much information to the client pest manipulator positioned outside the washed, the may leave a caching cache sufficiently to avoid becoming is shorter in life. Based on pest manipulator, also encoding any client selects the client can start an request pieces.. For example, the originally a low bit rate client can select the encoding, network bandwidth client receiver bit rate pieces the ability subsequent until limit the increased bit rate encoding piece may be selected.

Block 440 continuously surface, . receiving a request pieces from a client system. A client URL to the and-id. pieces. An encoding URL as well as can be identify a time when a piece. For example, the URL "http://server/event. isml/QualityLevels (1500000)/ Fragments (video= 20000000)" which may be in the form of, wherein QualityLevels parameter and bit rate measured bit per second, a generates the required video and name track, the value "video=" and after 100 nanoseconds unit (in units of in a presentation encoded method.) is time position of. Block 450 continuously surface, from data store pieces system index and a local information pest manipulator invite enlargements table describes a fragment the request by an increment (incremental) constructing a represent. System increment as described herein one or more further faults manifest for a piece manipulator pest may include information.

A write silver program, user's computer system and a hardware potentially dangerous media shielding from application in order to reproduce a application for paging communication terminal provides API (application programming interfaces). Therefore, silver program write and other browser plug-in is a soft streaming system operates to be all environment client can be expected can be to provide functionality.

In some embodiment, the cached portion of the media stream associated soft streaming system for synchronizing provides logic. For example, live audiovisual event one or more video stream (for example, camera angle) and at least one audio stream (for example, language) may comprise an. Media fragment audio and video client separately as a upon downloading, further comprising the steps clock synchronization described first and second media fragment information time associated with the client by aligning the audio and video signals necessary for adjusting synchronization by using a media content (in sync) reproduce. Slide in presentation the slide system, Image, full text, such different types of data synchronization penetration hole while moving up and down.

In some embodiment, soft streaming system different rate is outputted as it is in the a stream provides to the client. For example, server 2x, 5x, 0.5x and other playback speed may comprise an. Client, media is a section (for example, 2x) or rewinding (for example, 0.5x) for providing users with an initial distance being other for of rate can be stream. To convert, client the return network in response to the other media pieces, for example in another URL in the request. Particular media the received client continues to pieces by playing back media pieces other playing back multimedia content in current rate media fragment data lines and softness in between is reproduced. switch to. A user's request is and change reproducing and media, to end users from latencies in a latency provides experience seamless (seamless). Client, for example, media to 2 times 2 times rapidly replaying a content item; downloading data encoded at the rate acceleration is supported by the upper case and with reduced size for securely connecting connector since the downloading media encoding, network as to save the bandwidth also a.

In some embodiment, soft streaming system meta data in provides highlight marker (highlight marker). A highlight, sports game in media, such as point added of bone lines are interesting in can include a portion that. Client, highlight marker associated with media fragment of media by the reproduction event after the highlight reel. capable of reproducing (reel). Receives events live client is not authorized, determining, the client media after he/she requests the represent corresponding to highlight can be and request only the media fragment. Further media before and after highlight user preview case that the user wants (for example, user on by unwinding oxygen), additional client requesting media fragment the media the requested at can be reproducing a seam. Therefore, in pest manipulator to a client system may provide a highlight information.

In some embodiment, the inline streaming system soft a supporting advertisement. Live event, the input at the beginning event occurs when (commercial break) .may not be know. Input the event driver simultaneously sees a front visual field during production when, advertisement media stream system metadata can be to insert a marker. When a marker advertisement client, client the previously identified association with the advertisement and media pieces can be and receiving request. For example, system is initialized to list of advertisement potential pest manipulator by using the mask pattern.. Similar other media advertisements in media fragment may be provided, live events the same. may or may not be stored at server. Upon encountering the marker advertisement, client a main stream of a regenerating on which advertisement displaying a vowel on one screen and to main and thereafter be. to resume reproduction of of data.

In some embodiment, soft streaming system the subscription (subscription) or other payment model to based on the encoding. determines whether available. For example, high-resolution (HD) version live event content provider standard resolution of the event may a rate billing more than version (SD). In this case, system payment model whether conditions are satisfied (for example, user's an account is latest or) based on specific bit rate conversion of enable or disable motion compensated frame interpolation. Provided the client this information therefore pest manipulator. Content provider media only or highlight a low bit rate encoding (highlight only) client connects to a group consisting of a high at a rate billing may, while the other.

In some embodiment, soft streaming system various against an element of the system provides fail-over. For example, system redundant encoder, now server, may include a server, etc. source. During fail encoder, server URL added to "StartTime (nnnn)" having a thermal expansion rate similar to the encoder, wherein the server "nnnn" the last successful receipt of a time stamp is absolute piece. Examples of URL fail "http://encoder: port/StartTime (12345678)" is. MP4 and employing box, backup encoder "ftyp," stream is ensured in advance when "ManifestBox," and "moov" box't need to transfer material. Encoder fail to lock the pieces the developer remaining on surface, at least a fragment they requested by client in case that the. return "404-File Not Found".

From said, soft streaming system of the specific embodiment for the exemplary forms described herein but, various modifications of the present invention is and the second deviating from the concept and range may be recognition will. For example, audiovisual data is being used in the but, full text (for example, streaming stock citation (stock quotes)), slide (for example, presentation), or the like other data types including can be use with the system. Therefore, the present invention refers to the range claimed with an is not limited to and second channels.
