Abstract: The systems, methods, and computer program products described herein provide for the streaming data from a server to a client without the use of a container. The server receives, from the client, a request for data. In response, the server prepares and sends metadata to the client describing the requested data. The server then wraps one or more frames of the requested data for transmission to the client. In an embodiment, the wrapping process includes the appending of header data to the one or more frames. The header data includes a frame size field, a stream identifier field, and a presentation timestamp (PTS) field.
