Abstract: A method of processing a data stream includes taking a first number of samples of the data stream using a sampling clock over a first observation window and storing a stored data stream including the first number of samples in a data buffer. A length of the first observation window is determined by a reference clock. A measured number of cycles of the sampling clock are determined from the first number of samples. An error between an expected number of cycles of the sampling clock and the measured number of cycles of the sampling clock in the observation window is measured. The stored data stream corresponding to the first observation window is updated to contain a second number of samples by correcting the first number of samples with the error.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) receiving a media stream, (2) determining a first priority level for the media stream, (3) generating one or more first encoded segments from a first segment of the media stream based on the first priority level, (4) determining, while generating the one or more first encoded segments, a second priority level for the media stream, the second priority level being different than the first priority level, (5) generating one or more second encoded segments from a second segment of the media stream based on the second priority level, and (6) streaming the one or more first encoded segments and the one or more second encoded segments to one or more client devices. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
