  • Detecting a quality issue associated with a video stream delivery
    Patent number: 11962868
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for delivering video streams are provided. In an example, a first video stream chunk of a video stream is received. The first video stream chunk is transmitted to a first client device in response to a determination that the first video stream chunk is not associated with a quality issue. A second video stream chunk of the video stream is received. The second video stream chunk is analyzed to determine whether the second video stream chunk is associated with one or more quality issues. A first quality issue associated with the second video stream chunk is detected. A request for a corrective video stream chunk is transmitted to a cache node based upon the first quality issue. The corrective video stream chunk is received from the cache node. The corrective video stream chunk is transmitted to the first client device.
