Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for facilitating using a streaming manifest including a profile signal for content encoded based on a encapsulation format. An example method disclosed herein includes identifying structures associated with first media, wherein the first media is associated with a first streaming format. The example method also includes generating a streaming manifest for the first media, wherein the streaming manifest maps the structures associated with the first media to structures associated with a second streaming format, and including an indication with the streaming manifest, wherein the indication identifies the streaming profile used to map the structures.
Claims62
A method of data processing, comprising:
- identifying, based on addressable content encoded with a first streaming format, structures associated with a first media, wherein the first media is maintained in the first streaming format without storing the first media in a second streaming format different from the first streaming format and the addressable content is generated based on the first media;
- generating a first streaming manifest that maps the structures associated with the first media to structures associated with the second streaming format based on a streaming profile corresponding to the second streaming format;
- and
- sending, to a server, the first streaming manifest and a profile indication identifying the streaming profile for enabling at least one streaming client, by using the streaming profile identified by the profile indication, to stream, via the server, the first media, while encoded in the first streaming format, in the second streaming format instead of the first streaming format.

An apparatus for data processing, comprising:
- means for identifying, based on addressable content encoded with a first streaming format, structures associated with a first media, wherein the first media is maintained in the first streaming format without storing the first media in a second streaming format different from the first streaming format and the addressable content is generated based on the first media;
- means for generating a first streaming manifest that maps the structures associated with the first media to structures associated with the second streaming format based on a streaming profile corresponding to the second streaming format;
- and
- means for sending, to a server, the first streaming manifest and a profile indication identifying the streaming profile for enabling at least one streaming client, by using the streaming profile identified by the profile indication, to stream, via the server, the first media, while encoded in the first streaming format, in the second streaming format instead of the first streaming format.
1 more element
An apparatus for data processing, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- identify, based on addressable content encoded with a first streaming format, structures associated with a first media, wherein the first media is maintained in the first streaming format without storing the first media in a second streaming format different from the first streaming format and the addressable content is generated based on the first media,
- generate a first streaming manifest that maps the structures associated with the first media to structures associated with the second streaming format based on a streaming profile corresponding to the second streaming format, and
- send, to a server, the first streaming manifest and a profile indication identifying the streaming profile for enabling at least one streaming client, by using the streaming profile identified by the profile indication, to stream, via the server, the first media, while encoded in the first streaming format, in the second streaming format instead of the first streaming format.

A computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, the code when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- identify, based on addressable content encoded with a first streaming format, structures associated with a first media, wherein the first media is maintained in the first streaming format without storing the first media in a second streaming format different from the first streaming format and the addressable content is generated based on the first media;
- generate a first streaming manifest that maps the structures associated with the first media to structures associated with the second streaming format based on a streaming profile corresponding to the second streaming format;
- and
- send, to a server, the first streaming manifest and a profile indication identifying the streaming profile for enabling at least one streaming client, by using the streaming profile identified by the profile indication, to stream, via the server, the first media, while encoded in the first streaming format, in the second streaming format instead of the first streaming format.
1 more element
A method of data processing, comprising:
- receiving, at a streaming client, from a server, a first streaming manifest associated with playback of streaming media, wherein the first streaming manifest is associated with a first streaming format and the streaming media is associated with a second streaming format different from the first streaming format, wherein the first streaming manifest maps structures associated with the first streaming format to structures associated with the second streaming format, wherein the first streaming manifest is generated based on addressable content generated in accordance with the first streaming format, wherein the addressable content is generated based on the streaming media;
- receiving, at the streaming client, from the server, a profile indication identifying a streaming profile, wherein the streaming profile includes a profile signal indicating that the addressable content in the first streaming format is mapped to the structures associated with the second streaming format based on a mapping between the streaming media associated with the first streaming format and the structures associated with the second streaming format conforming to a set of rules of the first streaming format;
- identifying the structures associated with the streaming media based on the first streaming manifest, the streaming profile, and the profile indication;
- and
- performing playback of the streaming media, while encoded in the first streaming format, in the second streaming format instead of the first streaming format using the streaming profile identified by the profile indication, wherein the playback of the streaming media is in accordance with playback rules associated with the second streaming format.
