Abstract
A method, performed by a management entity, for managing audio rendering of an item of audio content on a rendering device connected to a receiver device able to receive items of content from a content server. The item of audio content has a corresponding plurality of selectable audio tracks. The management entity performs the following steps: obtaining the audio decoding capabilities of the rendering device; requesting access to an item of multimedia content, made to the content server; and receiving an audio stream adapted to the audio decoding capabilities and of transmitting the audio stream to the rendering device.
Claims11
A management method comprising:
- managing, by a management entity, audio rendering of an audio content on a rendering device connected to a receiving device capable of receiving contents from a content server, wherein the audio content has several corresponding selectable audio tracks and the management entity performs the following:
- obtaining an audio decoding capabilities of the rendering device;
- requesting access to a multimedia content intended for the content server;
- receiving an audio stream matched to the audio decoding capabilities;
- and
- transmitting the audio stream to the rendering device.
The management method as claimed in claim 4, wherein, when several rendering devices are connected to the receiving device, the rendering devices having respective decoding capabilities, the datum includes all or part of the obtained audio decoding capabilities.
A management entity comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by the at least one processor configure the management entity to manage audio rendering of an audio content on a rendering device connected to a receiving device capable of receiving contents from a content server, wherein the audio content has several corresponding selectable audio tracks, the managing comprising:
- obtaining audio decoding capabilities of the rendering device;
- requesting an access to a multimedia content intended for the content server;
- receiving an audio stream matched to the audio decoding capabilities;
- and
- transmitting the audio stream to the rendering device.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium on which is stored a program comprising program code instructions for execution of a method of managing audio rendering of an audio content on a rendering device, when the instructions are executed by a processor of a management entity, wherein the rendering device is connected to a receiving device capable of receiving contents from a content server, the audio content has several corresponding selectable audio tracks, and the method comprises:
- obtaining an audio decoding capabilities of the rendering device;
- requesting access to a multimedia content intended for the content server;
- receiving an audio stream matched to the audio decoding capabilities;
- and
- transmitting the audio stream to the rendering device.
