Abstract

The invention concerns method for making segments of at least one digital multimedia stream available to a terminal device according to a subscription. The invention is characterized in that the method comprises steps of associating at least one segment with at least one meta-data item, determining a set of segments available for subscription, establishing a subscribed set of segments from the set of segments available for subscription using at least one data selection rule and meta-data item of at least one segment and making at least one segment of the subscribed set of segments available to at least one subscriber and/or terminal device. An arrangement capable of executing the method is also disclosed.
