Abstract: The invention relates to a method comprising encoding, into or along a bitstream of media content, a set of indicators to indicate one or more of unequality types, wherein an unequality type defines different encoding parameters for a video stream on a first view or region and for a video stream on a second view or region. The invention also relates to an apparatus and a computer program product for implementing the method.

Abstract: A method and related apparatus for creating a video remix, the method comprising obtaining a plurality of source content in a processing device; determining a plurality of segments from the source content to be included in the video remix; determining editing processes required to transform the plurality of segments into form suitable for the video remix; allocating said editing processes to be executed in parallel in at least one processing device; and merging the plurality of segments received from said editing processes into the video remix.

Abstract: A method and relates apparatus for selecting content for a video remix, the method comprising: sending a request for multimedia preview content from a client device to one or more network domains; receiving one or more multimedia preview content from said one or more network domains; arranging the received multimedia preview content on a display of the client device for a user of the client device to select; and in response to receiving user input indicating selection of one or more preview content, sending a request to a video remix service, the request including pointers to multimedia content on said one or more network domains corresponding to said selected one or more preview content, said pointers enabling the video remix service to download the multimedia content for generating a video remix.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for facilitating determination of a state of a receiver buffer. A method may include receiving, at a first time, a data packet of a data stream transmitted by a sending apparatus. The method may further include generating, at a second time, a periodically generated receiver reporting message. The method may additionally include determining an interval time defining an interval between the first time and the second time. The method may also comprise causing an indication of the interval time to be sent to the sending apparatus. Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.

Abstract: There is provided a method comprising receiving at least one sample of a sensor data obtained from at least one sensor; obtaining an indicator of a video scene change on the basis of the at least one sample of the sensor data; and providing the indicator in order to change at least one parameter of a video encoding. There is also provided an apparatus comprising a processor, and memory including computer program code. The memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to receive at least one sample of a sensor data; obtain an indicator of a video scene change on the basis of the at least one sample of the sensor data; and provide the indicator in order to change at least one parameter of a video encoding.

Abstract: Methods, devices, computer program products and systems for transmitting and receiving media information are disclosed. The media information is protected against errors introduce by an unreliable channel by error-protection information. The error-protection information is generated, transmitter, received and/or used in rendering based on the context of the receiver, e.g. based on a geographical location of the receiver.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a communication system for transmission of multimedia streams. Multimedia streams are transmitted in the communication system from a sending communication device to a receiving communication device at least partly via a wireless communication network. Information about the multimedia stream is transmitted to the receiving communication device comprising at least one parameter of the transmission of the multimedia stream for reservation of network resources. The parameter is the maximum bit rate which is needed for the transmission or the maximum service data unit size to be used in the transmission. It is also possible that both the mentioned parameters will be transmitted as attributes of the session description protocol. In an advantageous embodiment the receiving communication device informs the sending communication device about the QoS profile parameters which the wireless communication network granted for the transmission.
