Systems, devices and processes are described to adapt segment requests placed by an autonomous media player [130] operating on a client device [120] during media streaming to compensate for fluctuations in the bandwidth consumed by the requested segments due to variances in the underlying video content. By providing predictive data [107] about the bandwidth consumption of upcoming video segments [106], client devices can adapt requests for future segments accordingly. Further, indicia [141] of predictive data can be shared between players operating within shared bandwidth to assist players needing additional bandwidth for upcoming video sequences. |
