Abstract
A method, computer program, computer system, and device is provided for determining media sink capabilities. The method may include obtaining, by a media source, a sink resource associated with a media sink, wherein the sink resource indicates a direct address at which a capability described in the sink resource can be directly accessed; and accessing the capability directly by the media source using the direct address.
Claims20
A method for accessing media sink capabilities, executable by a processor, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a media source, a sink resource description associated with a media sink, wherein the sink resource description includes a capabilities object which includes a uniform resource identifier (URI) at which a capability described in the sink resource description can be directly accessed;
- and
- accessing the capability directly by the media source using the URI,
- wherein the sink resource description indicates a capability description location from which a capability description can be retrieved, and
- wherein the URI is included in the capability description.
A device for accessing media sink capabilities, the device comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store program code;
- and
- at least one processor configured to read the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code including:
- obtaining code configured to cause the at least one processor to obtain, by a media source, a sink resource description associated with a media sink, wherein the sink resource description includes a capabilities object which includes a uniform resource identifier (URI) at which a capability described in the sink resource description can be directly accessed;
- and
- accessing code configured to cause the at least one processor to access the capability directly by the media source using the URI,
- wherein the sink resource description indicates a capability description location from which a capability description can be retrieved, and
- wherein the URI is included in the capability description.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer program for accessing media sink capabilities, the computer program configured to cause one or more computer processors to:
- obtain, by a media source, a sink resource description associated with a media sink, wherein the sink resource description includes a capabilities object which includes a uniform resource identifier (URI) at which a capability described in the sink resource description can be directly accessed;
- and
- access the capability directly by the media source using the URI,
- wherein the sink resource description indicates a capability description location from which a capability description can be retrieved, and
- wherein the URI is included in the capability description.
