Abstract: There is provided a method for estimating play out resolution of a video delivered to a client device by an encrypted video stream communicated over a network. The method selects a current chunk of the encrypted video stream comprising data packets expected to carry video data of the same level of playout resolution and determines values for a predetermined set of features indicative of conditions in the network. By accessing a pregenerated model, a corresponding set of state transition probabilities is obtained, defining a Markov chain whose states comprise the different levels of resolution. The determined state transition probabilities are then used to calculate, from a first probability distribution arising from a first or previous step in the Markov chain, a second probability distribution for the plurality of states of the Markov chain expected to result from the indicated network conditions.
