Abstract

See full text

Methods, media processing devices and cache nodes for enabling instant synchronization of processing of data units of a primary media stream and of one or more secondary streams by at least one media processing device are described. The method may comprise the steps of: selecting a primary media stream that is broadcasted by a broadcast source, said primary media stream being associated with at least one secondary stream; receiving data units of said primary media stream and data units of said at least one secondary media streams; providing cache timing information associated with a time delay between the availability by said at least one media processing device to data units of said primary stream and to corresponding data units of said secondary stream; and, requesting one or more cache data units from at least one cache server on the basis of said cache timing information, wherein at least part of said cache data units correspond to data units of said primary media stream that, at the time the primary media stream was selected by said media processing device, were already broadcasted by said broadcast source.
