Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable HTTP servers, such as HTTP servers providing segments to DASH clients according to the various embodiments, to pass incomplete versions of segments in response to segment requests from the DASH clients. The various embodiments may enable clients, such as DASH clients, to parse incomplete versions of segments.
Claims24
A method for parsing an incomplete response to a media file request, comprising:
- receiving an incomplete version of a media file in a response message including an indication that the response message includes the incomplete version of the media file and an indication of an access position for the incomplete version of the media file;
- determining whether a byte corresponding to the access position is received in the incomplete version of the media file;
- and
- parsing the incomplete version of the media file beginning at the byte corresponding to the access position in response to determining that the byte corresponding to the access position is received in the incomplete version of the media file.
A computing device, comprising:
- a processor configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an incomplete version of a media file in a response message including an indication that the response message includes the incomplete version of the media file and an indication of an access position for the incomplete version of the media file;
- determining whether a byte corresponding to the access position is received in the incomplete version of the media file;
- and
- parsing the incomplete version of the media file beginning at the byte corresponding to the access position in response to determining that the byte corresponding to the access position is received in the incomplete version of the media file.
A computing device, comprising:
- means for receiving an incomplete version of a media file in a response message including an indication that the response message includes the incomplete version of the media file and an indication of an access position for the incomplete version of the media file;
- means for determining whether a byte corresponding to the access position is received in the incomplete version of the media file;
- and
- means for parsing the incomplete version of the media file beginning at the byte corresponding to the access position in response to determining that the byte corresponding to the access position is received in the incomplete version of the media file.
A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions configured to cause a computing device processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an incomplete version of a media file in a response message including an indication that the response message includes the incomplete version of the media file and an indication of an access position for the incomplete version of the media file;
- determining whether a byte corresponding to the access position is received in the incomplete version of the media file;
- and
- parsing the incomplete version of the media file beginning at the byte corresponding to the access position in response to determining that the byte corresponding to the access position is received in the incomplete version of the media file.
