Conversion between streaming media communication protocols

摘要

In response to receiving a request from a client device, a determination may be made that the request corresponds to an HLS playlist related to a media asset. Information regarding a time segment for the media asset may be determined based on at least one HDS file corresponding with the media asset. An HLS playlist may be generated based at least in part on the determined information. The HLS playlist may be sent to the client device. In response to receiving a request from a client device, a determination may be made that the request corresponds to an HLS media segment of a media asset. At least one HDS media file corresponding to the HLS media segment may be determined. At least a portion of the determined HDS media file(s) may be converted into an HLS media segment. The HLS media segment may be sent to the client device.

1. A method comprising:
receiving a request from a client device that requests a playlist for accessing a media asset using a first media streaming communications protocol; and in response to receiving the request:
identifying at least one media segment that corresponds to at least one time segment of the media asset, wherein the at least one media segment is identified from at least one file that is related to the media asset and that is used for providing access to the media asset via a second media streaming communications protocol different from the first media streaming communications protocol;generating, by at least one processor, the playlist for accessing the media asset using the first media streaming communications protocol based on the at least one media segment identifying using identified from the at least one file for providing access to the media asset via the second media streaming communications protocol, wherein the generated playlist comprises at least one identifier usable to identify at least one media segment corresponding to the at least one time segment of the media asset; andsending, by the at least one processor, the generated playlist to the client device.
