    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses provide real-time or near real-time streaming of content, specified in one or more playlists, using transfer protocols such as an HTTP compliant protocol. In one embodiment, a method can adaptively determine a minimum overlap for an overlap in time between two streams being received concurrently in order to determine when to switch between the two streams, and the minimum overlap can be determined based on connection speed. In another embodiment, a minimum playlist duration can be set as a multiple of a target duration which specifies a maximum duration of a media file specified in a playlist. In another embodiment, a method can enforce a start point for playback at a client device.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for real-time or near real-time streaming of content using transfer protocols such as an HTTP compliant protocol. In one embodiment, a method includes dividing a stream of data, representing the contiguous time based content of a program (e.g. a live video broadcast), into a plurality of distinct media files, and generating a playlist file having a plurality of tags and Universal Resource Indicators (URIs) indicating an order of presentation of the plurality of distinct media files. The plurality of media files and the playlist file can be made available for transmission to a client device which can retrieve the media files using the playlist file.

    Abstract translation: 使用诸如HTTP兼容协议之类的传输协议实时或接近实时流传输内容的方法和装置。 在一个实施例中,一种方法包括将代表节目的基于连续时间的内容(例如实况视频广播)的数据流划分成多个不同的媒体文件,并且生成具有多个标签和通用的播放列表文件 指示多个不同媒体文件的呈现顺序的资源指示符(URI)。 可以使多个媒体文件和播放列表文件可用于传输到能够使用播放列表文件检索媒体文件的客户端设备。
