  • client-side playlists In a client-server streaming architecture, two types of playlists can be provided: client-side playlists and server-side playlists.
  • the main difference between the two types of playlists is that when the client-side playlists are used, a client player application has control of the streaming experience, whereas when server-side playlists are used, a streaming server has control of the streaming experience.

  • One approach for implementing media element syntax for allowing concurrent streaming of different media element content in a single streaming session is to modify prior art media element syntax to allow more distinction in how media element files of a playlist are streamed.
  • One embodiment of prior art media element syntax that allows an entire file, including both audio and video, to be referenced is:
  • a streaming server capable of interpreting such syntax would open both 'my_audio_file.3gp' and 'my_video_file.3gp' (i.e., media elements tracks), and combine these two media elements tracks (audio and video respectively) into a single streaming session (e.g., a 3GPP (3 rd Generation Partnership Project) streaming session).

  • An embodiment of prior art media element syntax that has been modified in accordance with the present invention for allowing more distinction in how media element files of a playlist are streamed and for allowing a type of track (e.g., audio, video, etc) to be specified from a file capable of supporting multiple track types is:
  • Audio src file:///public/my_audio-video_music_file.3gp" />
  • video src file:///public/my_audio-video_baseball_file.3gp” /> ⁇ /media>.
  • Example 3 Using Element Tags For Track Duration Manipulation
  • the assumption is that audio and video tracks are presented at the same time in a streaming session.
  • the tracks are played in parallel or, in SMIL terms, the media element file is streamed in accordance with a timing behavior similar to parallel ⁇ par> streaming manner, as opposed to a sequence ( ⁇ seq>) streaming manner.
  • the 'my_audio-video_music_file.3gp' media element file and the 'my audio- video_baseball_file.3g' media element file can be different durations.
  • addressing such a configuration objective includes media element syntax that retains par-like timing, but allowing the audio and video media elements to be container elements that have sequence-like timing.
  • media element syntax is:
  • such media element syntax represents a set of baseball video highlights to which a number of music clips are "overdubbed".
  • this media element syntax would allow each of those media element tracks to remain integral media pieces and there is no requirement that an additional piece of media content containing all the concatenated components ever be produced.
  • using some of the other SMIL media timeline control elements could allow an even more intricate mechanism for audio and video mixing, including specifying sub- portions of each track using attributes such as begin, end, duration, etc (e.g., as depicted and discussed in reference to the 'Set File Timeline' selector of FIG. 2).
  • a streaming server configured in accordance with the media element syntax of Example 3 can support the functionality of track mixing, e.g., foreground and background audio and/or graphical and video overlays or mosaics.
  • the supported media types could include other "streamable" types such as, for example, timed text or similar.
  • Media Element syntax in accordance with the present invention can be configured for allowing specification of media element files based on the track ID values in such files.
  • One embodiment of such media element syntax is: ⁇ media>
  • This media element syntax is similar to the type of media element syntax used within a streaming session in general and is generally most useful when there is a need to specify one track to the exclusion of another. For example, the scenario where it is desirable to specify one track to the exclusion of another if there are more than one audio or video tracks in each of the media element files referenced above.
  • This media element syntax further allows referencing more than one track (i.e., sub-portion) from each media element file, such as depicted in the following media element syntax.
  • Example 4 the media element syntax disclosed in Example 4 is well-suited for implementation of playlist-based BSS (bitstream switching) control, where alternative bitrate tracks are specified as playlist information.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un serveur configuré pour recevoir des informations de configuration d'éléments multimédia comprenant un identifiant de piste d'éléments multimédia associé à une première piste d'une liste de lecture et un identifiant de piste d'éléments multimédia associé à une seconde piste de la liste de lecture. La réception des informations de configuration d'éléments multimédia est effectuée par un serveur capable de transmettre en continu un contenu multimédia. Le serveur est en outre configuré pour transmettre en continu de façon concurrente au moins une partie de sources d'éléments multimédia correspondant à des identifiants de piste d'éléments multimédia respectifs associés à des pistes respectives dans une session unique de transmission continue. La transmission continue est exécutée conformément à des commandes envoyées par une fonctionnalité de liste de lecture de transmission continue côté serveur de serveur capable de transmettre en continu un contenu multimédia. Les sources d'éléments multimédia correspondant à la première piste et la source d'éléments multimédia correspondant à la seconde piste sont des sources différentes.
