Method and arrangement for supporting playout of content

摘要

Methods and arrangements in a client node and a server node for supporting a decision on decoding and playout of a certain content in the client node. The methods and arrangements relate to the determining, conveying and obtaining of information related to the characteristics (level) required for decoding and playing out the certain media content at a non-regular playout rate. The method and arrangement in the client node further relate to determining, based on the obtained information, which playout rate(s) that is/are supported by the client node in regard of level. The methods and arrangements enable the client node to refrain from decoding and playout of the content at a non-regular rate requiring a level which is not supported by the client node.
