Session-based description URL customization using the session-based DASH operations

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory configured to store computer program code;
• at least one processor configured to access the computer program code and operate as instructed by the computer program code, the computer program code including:
• obtaining code configured to cause the at least one processor to obtain a pre-session-based description (PreSBD) information of a DASH streaming session from a PreSBD descriptor, the PreSBD information instructing a PreSBD client to generate customized session-based description (SBD) document uniform resource locator (URL) for a plurality of SBD descriptors of the DASH streaming session, and the PreSBD descriptor being separate from the plurality of SBD descriptors;
• instantiating code configured to cause the at least one processor to instantiate the PreSBD client and passing PreSBD descriptor information, wherein the PreSBD client is instantiated prior to instantiating any SBD descriptor among the plurality of SBD descriptors;
• first controlling code configured to cause the at least one processor to control generation of a customized SBD document URL associated with a first SBD descriptor from the plurality of SBD descriptors of the DASH streaming session;
• and
• launching code configured to cause the at least one processor to launch a first SBD client associated with the first SBD descriptor based on the customized SBD document URL and passing the first SBD descriptor, wherein the first SBD client is among the plurality of SBD descriptors.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• obtain a pre-session-based description (PreSBD) information of a DASH streaming session from a PreSBD descriptor, the PreSBD information instructing a PreSBD client to generate customized session-based description (SBD) document uniform resource locator (URL) for a plurality of SBD descriptors of the DASH streaming session, and the PreSBD descriptor being separate from the plurality of SBD descriptors;
• instantiate the PreSBD client and passing PreSBD descriptor information, wherein the PreSBD client is instantiated prior to instantiating any SBD descriptor among the plurality of SBD descriptors;
• control generation of a customized SBD document URL associated with a first SBD descriptor from the plurality of SBD descriptors of the DASH streaming session;
• and
• launch a first SBD client associated with the first SBD descriptor based on the customized SBD document URL and passing the first SBD descriptor, wherein the first SBD client is among the plurality of SBD descriptors.
