Where a specific stream of content is concerned, a determination can be made based upon the proportion of time spent buffering content during playback of content encoded at a similar maximum bitrate.
- network bandwidth measurements can be reviewed to estimate the bandwidth throughout playback to estimate the proportion of time that is likely to be spent buffering content.
- modifications can be made to the amount of content that is buffered before playback commences based upon the bandwidth estimates to reduce the amount of time spent buffering during playback.
- a determination can be made based upon the proportion of time spent streaming at or above the maximum bitrate of the content. Estimates of the network bandwidth for the duration of the content can also be utilized to estimate the proportion of time content at the specified resolution will be streamed.
- the network bandwidth measurements utilized to determine whether the bandwidth requirements of the content are supported can be filtered based upon one or more pieces of additional information associated with the network measurements including (but not limited to) time of day, date, and the content distribution network and/or server streaming the content.
- the determination concerning whether the network bandwidth requirements are supported can be accompanied by a confidence factor or accuracy metric.
- the confidence factor or accuracy metric can represent the proportion of time that is likely to be spent buffering or streaming at a lower resolution or reflect variation in the network bandwidth measurement data utilized to determine whether the network bandwidth requirements of the content can be supported.
- the process 90 can involve generating ( 98 ) a user notification that the playback requirements can be met and/or authorizing the transaction.
- the determination can be integrated within the user interface of a content distribution system and/or the determination can be integrated into the purchase process.
- a notification is generated ( 100 ) informing the user that they should not proceed with purchasing and/or streaming the content.
- any of a variety of processes for determining whether to stream and/or purchase a specific piece of content encoded with specific maximum bandwidth requirements including processes that utilize network bandwidth measurements collected by multiple playback devices from a similar geographic region and that utilize the same Internet service provider can be performed in accordance with embodiments.
- a similar process is utilized to generate the number of interruptions and the amount of time spent buffering during playback, which can be displayed accompanying content selections.
- similar processes can be used to estimate the proportion of time the content will be streamed at the displayed resolution. In both instances these estimates can be qualified by high end and low end estimates representing a predetermined confidence interval.
- network bandwidth measurements can be utilized in a variety of additional ways related to the purchase of content discussed below.
- the data rate of a network connection experienced by a specific playback device can vary depending upon the content distribution network utilized to distribute content.
- a content distribution system can offer premium content based not just on the resolution of the content but the content distribution network utilized to deliver the content.
- a streaming system can provide a performance metric such as (but not limited to) an estimate of the amount of time the playback device will spend buffering during playback from different content distribution networks and can charge a premium based the higher playback performance anticipated when streaming from a premium content distribution network.
- an adaptive bitrate streaming system can display a performance metric such as (but not limited to) an estimate of the proportion of time that a playback device will receive content encoded at the highest available resolution and charge a premium based upon the higher playback performance anticipated when streaming from a premium content distribution network.
- a performance metric such as (but not limited to) an estimate of the proportion of time that a playback device will receive content encoded at the highest available resolution and charge a premium based upon the higher playback performance anticipated when streaming from a premium content distribution network.
