Abstract

See full text

A real-time server (RTS) controls on-demand, live, and real-time streaming of multimedia content from network services to a client. The RTS receives a request to stream the multimedia content to the client. In response, the RTS causes an encoder to encode successive blocks of the content to produce encoded files, upload the encoded files to a download server, and identify the uploaded files to the RTS. The RTS receives, from the client, a playlist request that relates to the content and includes encoded file selection criteria. In response, the RTS selects among the uploaded files based on the selection criteria, and sends a playlist identifying the selected files to the client. The download server services access requests from the client to download the selected files identified in the playlist.
