Dynamic adaptation of volumetric content component sub-bitstreams in streaming services

An apparatus for decoding media content, comprising a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

• obtain a parameter set associated with visual volumetric content, wherein the parameter set indicates a plurality of component sub-bitstreams;
• receive a supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message that indicates an association between a codec identifier (ID) and a component sub-bitstream of the plurality of component sub-bitstreams;
• and
• decode the visual volumetric content based on the association between the codec ID and the component sub-bitstream.
