US 10,757,153 B2 · Extended selection and alignment of video segments for adaptive streaming

Abstract

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method, and/or computer program product embodiments for extended selection and alignment of video segments for adaptive streaming. An embodiment operates by receiving variant segments, the variant segments including a first and a second variant segment having a first bitrate, and third and fourth variant segments having a second bitrate, for decoding and playback, generating a first, second, and third packetized elementary stream (PES) collections based on the first, second, and third variant segments. The embodiment further operate by storing the generated first, second, and third PES collections in a processing buffer, and determining, based on a maximum tolerance offset, a first and a second out-of-tolerance splicing locations and associated first and second out-of-tolerance offsets between the first PES collection and the second PES collection and between the first PES collection and the third PES collection.

Dependent claims

An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor;
and
a memory operatively coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive one or more variant segments for decoding and playback, the one or more variant segments including a first and second variant segments having a first bitrate, and a third, fourth, and fifth variant segments having a second bitrate,
generate corresponding first, second, third, fourth, and fifth packetized elementary stream (PES) collections based on at least the first, second, third, fourth and fifth variant segments,
store the generated first, second, third, fourth, and fifth PES collections in a processing buffer,
determine a third in-tolerance splicing location between the first and the fifth PES collections, the first and the fourth PES collections, and/or the second and the fifth PES collections based on at least a tolerance offset.

4 more elements

A computer implemented method, comprising:

receiving one or more variant segments for decoding and playback, the one or more variant segments including a first and second variant segments having a first bitrate, and a third, fourth, and fifth variant segments having a second bitrate;
generating corresponding first, second, third, fourth, and fifth packetized elementary stream (PES) collections based on at least the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth variant segments;
storing the generated first, second, third, fourth, and fifth PES collections in a processing buffer, and
determining a third in-tolerance splicing location between the first and the fifth PES collections, the first and the fourth PES collections, and/or the second and the fifth PES collections based on at least a tolerance offset.

1 more element

A tangible computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving one or more variant segments for decoding and playback, the one or more variant segments including a first and second variant segments having a first bitrate, and a third, fourth, and fifth variant segments having a second bitrate;
generating corresponding first, second, third, fourth, and fifth packetized elementary stream (PES) collections based on at least the first, second, third, fourth and fifth variant segments;
storing the generated first, second, third, fourth, and fifth PES collections in a processing buffer;
and
determining a third in-tolerance splicing location between the first and the fifth PES collections, the first and the fourth PES collections, and/or the second and the fifth PES collections based on at least a tolerance offset.
