Abstract
In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a content receiver, a concurrent streamer coupled to the content receiver, and a protocol engine coupled to the concurrent streamer. The content receiver receives an ingest stream of media content from a media source in response to a request for the media content from a local host. The concurrent streamer sends at least a portion of a local stream of the media content to the local host concurrent with the reception of the ingest stream of the media content by the content receiver. The protocol engine sends a protocol element from the network media server to the local host. The protocol element indicates an ingest status of the ingest stream at the content receiver.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a content receiver to receive an ingest stream of media content from a media source in response to a request for the media content from a local host;
- a concurrent streamer coupled to the content receiver, the concurrent streamer to send at least a portion of a local stream of the media content to the local host concurrent with the reception of the ingest stream of the media content by the content receiver;
- and
- a protocol engine coupled to the concurrent streamer, the protocol engine to send a protocol element from the network media server to the local host, wherein the protocol element indicates an ingest status of the ingest stream at the content receiver.
A method comprising:
- receiving at least a portion of a local stream of media content at a local host concurrent with a reception of an ingest stream of the media content by a network media server in response to a request for the media content from the local host;
- and
- receiving an ingest status at the local host from the network media server, wherein the ingest status indicates an ingest progress of the ingest stream at the network media server.
A system comprising:
- means for receiving an ingest stream of media content from a media source in response to a request for the media content from a local host;
- means for sending at least a portion of a local stream of the media content to the local host concurrent with the reception of the ingest stream of the media content;
- and
- means for sending a protocol element from a network media server to the local host, wherein the protocol element indicates an ingest status of the ingest stream at the network media server.
