A method performed by a server of a communication network for making a HTTP media stream accessible to a client is provided, where a Media Presentation Description (MPD) is generated, such that the MPD is provided with at least one period element, sequentially arranged according to a media play timeline; such that each period element is provided with at least one representation and such that at least one of the at least one period element is provided with at least two alternative representations, wherein each representation is provided with an ordered sequence of at least one media segment URI, wherein each media segment URI is referencing at least one media segment of the HTTP media stream. The generated MPD enables a client to select representations and to acquire, referenced media segments based on the selected representations. |
