Multiple Protocol Media Streaming

摘要

In one example, a streaming media player may select at least one media stream from a plurality media streams based on network conditions. A communication interface may receive a chosen media stream having a chosen bitrate and an alternate media stream having an alternate bitrate on a communication network and configured to determine a bandwidth average for the communication network. An adaptive streaming selector may switch from the chosen media stream to the alternate media stream based in part on the bandwidth average. A media pipeline may render the chosen media stream into a chosen media presentation and the alternate media stream into an alternate media presentation. An output device may present the chosen media presentation and the alternate media presentation to a user.

1. A streaming media player capable of selecting at least one media stream from a plurality of media streams based on network conditions, comprising:
a communication interface configured to:
receive a chosen media stream having a chosen bitrate and an alternate media stream having an alternate bitrate on a communication network, anddetermine a bandwidth average for the communication network; a processing core configured to execute each of:
an adaptive streaming selector configured to switch from the chosen media stream to the alternate media stream based in part on the bandwidth average, anda media pipeline configured to render the chosen media stream into a chosen media presentation and the alternate media stream into an alternate media presentation; and an output device configured to present at least one of the chosen media presentation and the alternate media presentation to a user.
