Abstract: A media server proxy switches streaming media protocols (“SMPs”) during streaming of media segments. The media server proxy receives a request, from a playback tool, according to a first SMP to provide information about outgoing media segments of a media sequence. The media server proxy generates the information about outgoing media segments and sends the information to the playback tool. The media server proxy also retrieves, from a remote server, incoming media content for the media sequence according to a second SMP different than the first SMP. The media server proxy assembles outgoing media segments based at least in part on the incoming media content. The media server proxy streams, to the playback tool, outgoing media segments according to the first SMP. In this way, the media server proxy can deliver media segments at very low latency, even when the first SMP typically has much higher latency.
