Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for utilizing a single storage buffer for a dynamic number of players, each using a dynamically sized virtual buffer. For example, a system includes a buffer management controller that receives a request to initiate at least one player instance for displaying a content item. The buffer management controller creates a virtual buffer having a maximum capacity for the player instance. Finally, the buffer management controller identifies one or more available regions of the single storage buffer and maps the virtual buffer to the one or more available regions in response to determining that address space in the one or more available regions matches or exceeds the maximum capacity of the virtual buffer.

Abstract: An adaptive video streaming stabilization system includes a computer network comprising a data source; a video player; and a session controller connected between the data source and an adaptive streaming stabilizer. The session controller is configured to use in parallel a variable number of streams in order to maximize download throughput from the data source to the video player. The adaptive streaming stabilizer is connected between the video player and the session controller.
