Abstract: A request to retrieve data from a client device is intercepted by a video detector. The video detector determines if the request is for retrieving a video file. If the request is for a video file, and the video file is deemed to be transcoded to be displayed on the client device, the video detector forwards the request to a video optimizer along with encoding parameters. Encoding parameters are selected by the video detector based on properties of the client device, networks accessible by the client device, conditions of those networks, properties of the requested video and the type of video requested. The encoding parameters also include a file format type to which the requested video is to be transcoded.

Abstract: A video optimizer receives a request to optimize a video, wherein the request includes optimization parameters and a uniform resource locator (URL) of the video. The video optimizer retrieves the video from an origin server and transcodes the video based on optimization parameters. The video optimizer load balances several transcoding sessions over one or more servers and tracks each session based on session identifications (IDs). Additionally, the video optimizer tracks each session to determine when a server is at or near capacity to prevent an overflow situation. The video optimizer is also enabled to stitch together two or more transcoding sessions in the event of a seek operation by a user during video playback. The video optimizer streams the video to the client device, enabling the client device to stream videos in substantially real-time after requesting the video.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for identifying video files on a webpage and streaming video files to a client device. A server receives browsing data including uniform resource locator for a webpage and identifies missing videos on the webpage. The server identifies a source file for the missing videos including identifying a location for each missing video. The server retrieves a thumbnail for each missing video and provides it to a client device. Additionally, the server transcodes the video file responsive to a user input provided by a user. The transcoded video is streamed to the client device.
