    Abstract: A method includes receiving user input indicating a selection of a subset of two or more of a plurality of audio layers for media content to be provided to a user, each of the subset of audio layers corresponding to one or more audio sources, receiving second user input indicating volume levels for the two or more audio layers of the plurality of audio layers, capturing, based on the first user input, the two or more audio layers of the plurality of audio layers for a media content item to be provided to the user, and enabling audio playback based on the two or more audio layers of the plurality of audio layers and without including other audio layers of the plurality of audio layers, the audio playback reflecting the volume levels indicated by the second user input. The method further includes causing the media content item to be provided to the user using the audio playback reflecting the indicated volume levels.

    Abstract: A method of delivering a media stream in a network having first and second media servers each capable of delivering segmented media content to a requesting media client. The network provides for HTTP-based delivery of segmented media, and the media client is supported on a client-side device. The method begins by associating the media client with the first media server. As the first server receives from the media client request for media content segments, request times for a given number of the most-recent segments requested are used to generate a prediction, by the first server, of when the media client has transitioned from a start-up or buffering state, to a steady state. In response to a new segment request being received, and upon the first server predicting that the media client has completed a transition to steady state, the new segment request is redirected to the second media server.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a video conference evaluation method and system. The method includes: in response to determining that a first electronic device has participated in a video conference, collecting network health information, and obtaining a transceiving state with respect to a multimedia signal; in response to determining that the network health information indicates that a network quality of the video conference is unsatisfying, obtaining a first signal segment of the multimedia signal according to the transceiving state with respect to the multimedia signal; obtaining a first specific signal feature of the first signal segment, and transmitting the first specific signal feature of the first signal segment; and providing a conference quality notification based on reception of anomalous information associated with the multimedia signal.
