Abstract: In one embodiment, a script executes code on a testing device to automatically control a control device. A media player on the control device interacts with a video streaming service. The testing device receives events from the control device based on the control device being controlled by the script to perform actions. The actions performed by the control device results in the events being asynchronously sent to the testing device. The events is then stored in the event buffer. The script initiates a wait for routine that waits for a target event to occur before execution of the script can continue and receives the events from the event buffer where the events are stored in the event buffer. The script then analyzes the events to determine if the target event occurred to allow the script to continue execution.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a script starts automatic control of a remote device. The script issues a command to the device. The script causes a marker to be set at a position in an event buffer. The marker indicates events generated by the device should be stored in the event buffer. The action performed by the device results in events being asynchronously sent to the event buffer where the events are stored in the event buffer. The script initiates a wait for routine that waits for a target event to occur before execution of the script can continue and receives the events from the event buffer where the events are stored in the event buffer. The events are analyzed to determine if the target event occurred to allow the script to continue execution where the target event was stored in the event buffer before initiating the wait for routine.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes retrieving a playlist for a video stream of video content for a client. The playlist is for portions of video content for the video stream. A traffic shaping service determines a set of rules for the playlist for a set of portions in the plurality of portions where each rule is associated with a network condition. For each rule, the method performs: dynamically allocating a port and setting a network condition to apply to the port according to the rule. During playback of the video content, the traffic shaping service receives a request for a portion from the client and determines a port associated with the request for the portion. The method then sends a traffic shaped portion through the determined port where the network condition is applied to the traffic shaped portion based on the network condition being set on the port.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method receives a request for a video stream of video content from a client. A playlist for the video stream is retrieved. The playlist is for a plurality of portions of video content. A traffic shaping service adjusts the playlist for a set of portions in the plurality of portions according to a set of rules where adjusting allows the service to perform traffic shaping for the set of portions. The method then sends the adjusted playlist to the client. During playback of the video content at the client, the traffic shaping service receives a request for a portion in the set of portions from the client using the adjusted playlist. The method determines a rule to apply to the portion where the rule is associated with a network condition and simulates the network condition for the portion to perform the traffic shaping service.
