Error recovery for video delivery via a segmentation process

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing device, a transport stream of an encoded version of a video, wherein the transport stream is sent to a client device at a transport layer;
• receiving, by the computing device, a recovery presentation description that describes a naming convention for locators of segments for the encoded version of the video;
• determining, by the computing device, markers that are located inband in the encoded version of the video;
• segmenting, by the computing device, the encoded version of the video based on at least a portion of the markers located inband in the encoded version of the video, wherein the segments are identified with locators based on the naming convention;
• and
• making, by the computing device, the segments available for the client device to request, wherein the client device requests a segment of the encoded version of the video using a locator for the segment upon determining an error with the transport stream, and receives the segment at the transport layer.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing device, a transport stream of an encoded version of a video at a transport layer, the transport stream also being sent to a server;
• determining, by the computing device, markers that are located inband in the encoded version of the video in the transport stream;
• determining, by the computing device, an error associated with a segment in the encoded version of the video, wherein the segment is identified with a marker located inband in the transport stream;
• generating, by the computing device, a locator for the segment based on the marker;
• sending, by the computing device, a request for the segment using the locator to the server;
• and
• receiving, by the computing device, the segment from the server via the transport layer where the server segmented the transport stream into segments based on the markers.
