Abstract: Techniques for transition files for use with content files and related metadata are described. In an example, a system determines a cue point of a video content file at which targeted content is to be presented. The system determines that a set of transition frames is to be presented at a start of a presentation of the targeted content or at an end of the presentation of the targeted content. The set of transition frames are available from a transition file that is separate from the video content file. The system generates metadata associated with the video content file. The metadata indicates that the set of transition frames is to be presented and an association of the set of transition frames with the cue point.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described that relate to stitching different streams of high dynamic range (HDR) content together and handling HDR metadata mismatches between the differently produced content streams.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for determining and applying a timeout for streaming video. Processing circuitry of a device may request video fragments to be downloaded and played, and if a requested fragment is not downloaded entirely before expiration of a timeout, the device may adjust the timeout to allow the download to complete. A timeout may be set based on available bandwidth and a size of a fragment requested for download, and the timeout may be extended based on network and/or device conditions.
