Abstract
A device for retrieving media data includes one or more processors configured to determine, for a segment of a representation of media data, whether to use segment index (SIDX) information of the segment, and in response to determining not to use the SIDX information, retrieve media data of the segment without using the SIDX information of the segment. The processors may determine whether to retrieve the SIDX information based on a determination of whether the segment includes SIDX information and/or based on a playback duration of the segment.
Claims20
A method of retrieving media data, the method comprising:
- determining, for a segment of a representation of media data, whether to use segment index (SIDX) information of the segment;
- and
- in response to determining not to use the SIDX information, retrieving media data of the segment without using the SIDX information of the segment.
A device for retrieving media data, the device comprising one or more processors configured to determine, for a segment of a representation of media data, whether to use segment index (SIDX) information of the segment, and in response to determining not to use the SIDX information, retrieve media data of the segment without using the SIDX information of the segment.
A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to:
- determine, for a segment of a representation of media data, whether to use segment index (SIDX) information of the segment;
- and
- in response to determining not to use the SIDX information, retrieve media data of the segment without using the SIDX information of the segment.
