Video content streaming through a wireless access point

摘要

A method that includes streaming video content at a given bit-rate from a computing platform through a wireless access point and to a digital media adaptor that decodes the video content for display. A communication channel used to stream the video content to the digital media adaptor is monitored and information associated with the communication channel as at least a portion of the video content is streamed from the computing platform to the digital media adaptor is collected. Available bandwidth for the communication channel is determined based on the collected information. An adjustment to the given bit-rate that another portion of the video content is streamed from the computing platform is made based on the available bandwidth.
