Mpeg-w decoder

A device comprising:

• one or more memories to store instructions of a Destination Moving Picture Experts Group (D-MPEG)-W decoder;
• and
• one or more processing systems to execute the instructions that configure the one or more processing systems to:
• receive a request for streaming content;
• select an estimate of a bandwidth for a connection between the device and a source device;
• select a device type pertaining to the device;
• generate a stream request for receiving the streaming content, wherein the stream request includes an MPEG-W link, the estimate of the bandwidth, and the device type, wherein the MPEG-W link includes a network address pertaining to the source device, a name of the streaming content, and a file extension of an MPEG-W format;
• transmit the stream request to the source device;
• and
• receive the streaming content from the source device in response to the stream request.

A device comprising:

• one or more memories to store instructions of a Source Moving Picture Experts Group (S-MPEG)-W decoder;
• and
• one or more processing systems to execute the instructions that configure the one or more processing systems to:
• receive a stream request, wherein the stream request includes an MPEG-W link, an estimate of a bandwidth, and a device type pertaining to a destination device, wherein the MPEG-W link includes a network address pertaining to the device, a name of a streaming content, and a file extension of an MPEG-W format;
• select a streaming content based on the stream request, wherein the streaming content has a resolution corresponding to the estimate of the bandwidth;
• and
• stream the streaming content to the destination device.

A tangible computer-readable medium comprising instructions for a Destination Moving Picture Experts Group (D-MPEG)-W decoder, which when executed are for:

• receiving a request for streaming content;
• selecting an estimate of a bandwidth for a connection between a destination device and a source device based on a bandwidth connection history pertaining to one or more previous streaming sessions;
• selecting a device type pertaining to the destination device in which the instructions are stored and executed;
• generating a stream request for receiving the streaming content, wherein the stream request includes an MPEG-W link, the estimate of the bandwidth, and the device type, wherein the MPEG-W link includes a network address pertaining to the source device, a name of the streaming content, and a file extension of an MPEG-W format;
• transmitting the stream request to the source device;
• and
• receiving the streaming content from the source device in response to the stream request.
