A path control entity configured to control at least one path in a multipath environment, the at least one path being used for transmitting an encrypted video stream comprising a sequence of video segments, the path adapting entity comprising a memory and at least one processing unit, the memory containing instructions executable by said at least one processing unit, wherein the path adapting entity is operative to:

• estimate a resolution used in the video stream based on the video segments;
• and
• determine that the resolution used in the video stream has changed during the transmission, wherein when it is determined that the resolution used in the video stream has changed, an adaptation of a number of the at least one path used for transmitting the video stream in the multipath configuration is initiated based on the determined change of the resolution.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program comprising program code to be executed by at least one processing unit of a path control entity, wherein execution of the program code causes the at least one processor to execute a method for controlling, by a path control entity, at least one path in a multipath environment, the at least one path being used for transmitting an encrypted video stream comprising a sequence of video segments, the method comprising:

• estimating a resolution used in the video stream based on the video segments;
• and
• determining that the resolution used in the video stream has changed during the transmission, wherein when it is determined that the resolution used in the video stream has changed, an adaptation of a number of the at least one path used for transmitting the video stream in the multipath configuration is initiated based on the determined change of the resolution.
