Abstract: Systems and methods are described for streaming media content. A first portion of a media content item is received at a bandwidth available to a user device, wherein the quality of the first portion is based on the bandwidth available. A second portion of the media content item is received at a decreased or increased bandwidth, wherein the quality of the second portion is based on the increased or decreased bandwidth available to the user device. The quality of the first portion and the second portion is determined. In response to determining that the quality of the second portion received at the decreased bandwidth is less than a quality threshold, the quality of the first portion of the media content item is reduced prior to sending the first portion to a playback buffer.

Abstract: In a method to improve the coding efficiency of high-dynamic range (HDR) images, a decoder parses sequence processing set (SPS) data from an input coded bitstream to detect that an HDR extension syntax structure is present in the parsed SPS data. It extracts from the HDR extension syntax structure post-processing information that includes one or more of a color space enabled flag, a color enhancement enabled flag, an adaptive_reshaping_enabled_flag, a dynamic range conversion flag, a color correction enabled flag, or an SDR_viewable_flag. It decodes the input bitstream to generate a preliminary output decoded signal, and generates a second output signal based on the preliminary output signal and the post-processing information.
