Abstract: A system is provided for streaming media content in a vehicle. The system includes a personal media streaming appliance system configured to connect to a media delivery system and receive media content from the media delivery system at least via a cellular network. The media delivery system is configured to link a user media streaming account with a particular personal media streaming appliance to provide personalized media content to the appliance. Media contexts are assigned to multiple preset settings automatically so that the personal media streaming appliance system is configured to output personalized media content upon first use.

Abstract: Chunks (12, 14) of encoded video data of a streamed video bitstream (1) are stored and encoded video data is decoded to form decoded video data to be output for display. A selected portion (12) of the stored chunks (12, 14) or selected sub-chunks (25, 27) of the stored chunks (20, 22) for a previous, already played out part (3) of the streamed video bitstream (1) is or are discarded while keeping selected stored chunks (14) or selected sub-chunks (21, 23) stored as navigation tune-in points. The usage of selected stored chunks (14) or sub-chunks (21, 23) that are not discarded from the already played out part (3) of the streamed video bitstream (1) enables a low delay solution during video navigation when a user wants to jump to a previously played out position (5) within the streamed video bitstream (1).

Abstract: The proposed technology comprises identifying a DRAP sample and its associated IRAP sample in a media container file (1) comprising a bitstream of encoded video content in the form of encoded pictures.

Abstract: A system and method for pushing live media to a client device in an adaptive streaming environment. In one aspect, a media server configured to transmit live media includes a storage unit for storing media segments of a live media programming stream, wherein the media segments are encoded at multiple bitrates identified in respective media presentation data structures associated therewith. A websocket interface is provided that is operative to facilitate a websocket session with the client device. One or more processors of the system are operative to execute service logic for pushing the media segments to the client device substantially in real time during the websocket session.
