Abstract
Systems and techniques are described for processing media content, such as samples of sparse media content whose sample durations can be unknown at the time of decoding the samples, include obtaining, at a current time instance, a current fragment comprising at least a current time component. From the current time component, a modified duration is obtained for at least one media sample, the modified duration indicating a time duration by which a presentation of a previous media sample of a previous fragment is to be extended or reduced in relation to the current time instance. The at least one media sample is presented for a time duration based on the modified duration.
Claims70
A method of processing media content, the method comprising:
- obtaining, at a current time instance, a current fragment comprising at least a current time component associated with one or more previous media samples of one or more previous fragments, wherein at least one previous fragment is an empty fragment without media sample data;
- determining, based on the current time component, a modified duration for at least one media sample forming part of the one or more previous media samples, the modified duration indicating a time duration by which the at least one media sample is to be extended or reduced in relation to the current time instance;
- and
- presenting the at least one media sample based on the modified duration.
