Abstract: A spectator system may provide for spectating in online gaming. The spectator system may receive, at a spectator server, game state data from a game simulation server hosting an online game for one or more players, generate one or more spectator game state data corresponding to one or more spectator devices and output the one or more spectator game state data to the spectator devices. The spectator server may further output the game state data to another spectator server.

Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for recovering lost information in a data stream. The method includes receiving the data stream having consecutive frames from a server, each frame encoded based on information from a preceding frame in an encoding order as reference. The method also includes detecting an error in the data stream. The method also includes sending an error message to the server regarding the error. The method also includes receiving a corrected frame encoded based on a distant reference frame that was received prior to detection of the error. The method also includes decoding the corrected frame.

Abstract: A method for adapting a game session on a first device for continued play on a second device, the method including establishing a game session on a first device, scaling the functionality of the game within the game session, and continuing the game session with the scaled game functionality on a second device.
