STREAMING FROM SERVER TO CLIENT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for arranging streaming or downloading a streamable file comprising meta-data and media-data over a network between a server and a client wherein at least part a portion of the meta-data of the file is transmitted to the client, the transmitted meta-data comprising at least locations of media-data ranges in the file. The location of the desired media-data portion in the file is determined on the basis of the received meta-data. A request is sent to the server informing the server about the media-data range to be transferred to the client. The requested media-data range is then transmitted to the client.
