Publication number: 20230362223Abstract: Devices, methods, and program products are provided enabling Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) optimization upon initialization of a streaming video session. In embodiments, the method includes launching a streaming media interface application in response to user input. Substantially concurrently with application launch, the client media receiver further transmits a request over a communications network to a streaming media server for a sample video stream. As the video stream is received, the client media receiver plays the sample video stream as, for example, a background process. When subsequently receiving user input selecting streaming content for end user viewing, the client media receiver determines an optimized ABR setting based upon a recent ABR value of the sample video stream. The client media receiver transmits a request to the streaming media server for user-selected content stream at the optimized ABR setting and then presents the content stream for end user viewing.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: DISH Network Technologies India Private LimitedInventor: Sagar Sehgal

Patent number: 11202122Abstract: Techniques are described for handling stale variant cases that arise in adaptive streaming of content by media players. For example, embodiments include a delegate subsystem integrated with a media player client. The delegate subsystem can act as a proxy for requesting variant manifest update requests on behalf of the media player client and for receiving corresponding responses. The delegate subsystem can track the received update responses to determine whether the responses indicate a stale variant condition. If so, the delegate subsystem can issue a failover trigger to the media player client, such as by returning an error code, a variant gap tag, or the like. The failover trigger can cause the media player client 110 automatically to respond by executing a failover routine.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Sling Media Pvt. Ltd.Inventors: Sagar Sehgal, Purushotham Jinka
