ADAPTIVE STREAMING OF VIDEO DATA OVER A NETWORK

摘要

A method for adaptive streaming of video data over a network is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by one or more decoders of a video streaming client, first video information of a video data stream with one or more operations of first complexity. The method further includes obtaining client-related information based at least in part on a decoding capability of the video streaming client related to decoding the first video information with the one or more operations of the first complexity by the one or more decoders. The method also includes using, by the video streaming client, the client-related information to cause the video streaming from the video streaming server to the video streaming client to be adapted to a different overall bit rate and based at least in part on the client-related information.

1. A method for adaptive streaming of video data over a network, comprising:
receiving, by one or more decoders of a video streaming client, first video information of a video data stream with one or more operations of first complexity, wherein the first video information is sent by a video streaming server to the video streaming client using video streaming; obtaining client-related information based at least in part on a decoding capability of the video streaming client related to decoding the first video information with the one or more operations of the first complexity by the one or more decoders; using, by the video streaming client, the client-related information to cause the video streaming from the video streaming server to the video streaming client to be adapted to a different overall bit rate; based at least in part on the client-related information, determining whether the one or more operations of the first complexity should continue to decode subsequent video information to be received later than the first video information in the video streaming; in response to determining that the one or more operations of the first complexity should not continue to decode subsequent video information to be received later than the first video information in the video streaming, receiving, by the one or more decoders of the video streaming client, second video information of the video data stream with one or more operations of second complexity that is different from the first complexity, wherein the second video information is received subsequent to the first video information.
