Abstract
In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method for updating configurations of endpoint devices when streaming media titles includes receiving a first encoding derived from a first segment of audiovisual content in conjunction with receiving size data corresponding to one or more encodings of a second segment of audiovisual content, and updating a configuration of an endpoint device to cause the endpoint device to receive a second encoding derived from the second segment of audiovisual content based on the size data when streaming a media title.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for updating configurations of endpoint devices when streaming media titles, the method comprising:
- receiving a first encoding derived from a first segment of audiovisual content in conjunction with receiving size data corresponding to one or more encodings of a second segment of audiovisual content;
- and
- updating a configuration of an endpoint device to cause the endpoint device to receive a second encoding derived from the second segment of audiovisual content based on the size data when streaming a media title.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to update configurations of endpoint devices when streaming media titles, by performing the steps of:
- receiving a first encoding derived from a first segment of audiovisual content in conjunction with receiving size data corresponding to one or more encodings of a second segment of audiovisual content;
- and
- updating a configuration of an endpoint device to cause the endpoint device to receive a second encoding derived from the second segment of audiovisual content based on the size data when streaming a media title.
A system comprising:
- one or more memories storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories that, when executing the instructions, perform the steps of:
- receiving a first encoding derived from a first segment of audiovisual content in conjunction with receiving size data corresponding to one or more encodings of a second segment of audiovisual content, and
- updating a configuration of an endpoint device to cause the endpoint device to receive a second encoding derived from the second segment of audiovisual content based on the size data when streaming a media title.
