Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for provide a digital media caching environment are provided herein. In one example, a method of operating a content node to provide a digital media caching environment is provided. The method includes receiving a request transferred by an end user device for digital media content. Responsive to the request, the method includes retrieving at least a header portion and a content subset of the digital media content from an origin server and transmuxing the content subset of the digital media content from an origin format into a stream format suitable for streaming to the end user device, and streaming the content subset in the stream format for delivery to the end user device.

A method of operating a content node to provide a digital media caching environment, the method comprising:
- receiving a request transferred by an end user device for digital media content;
- responsive to the request, retrieving at least a header portion and a content subset of the digital media content from an origin server and transmuxing the content subset of the digital media content from an origin format into a stream format suitable for streaming to the end user device;
- streaming the content subset in the stream format for delivery to the end user device.
A content node to provide a digital media caching environment, the content node comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive a request transferred by an end user device for digital media content;
- responsive to the request, the communication interface configured to retrieve at least a header portion and a content subset of the digital media content from an origin server;
- a processing system configured to transmux the content subset of the digital media content from an origin format into a stream format suitable for streaming to the end user device;
- the communication interface configured to stream the content subset in the stream format for delivery to the end user device.
