Abstract: A method and an electronic device for rendering a selected portion in a video displayed in a higher resolution in a pull-based streaming are provided. The electronic device, when a user selects a portion of the video at a first resolution, identifies display coordinates associated with the video played at the first resolution. The identified display coordinates associated with the video are scaled to a second resolution of a frame of the video. Once the display coordinates are scaled in accordance to the second resolution of the video, the electronic device identifies at least one tile associated with the selected portion in the second resolution. After identifying the tile associated with the selected portion, the electronic device receives a video stream of the selected portion of the video and renders the selected portion on the electronic device.
