摘要： Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to monitor streaming media. An example apparatus includes memory, instructions in the apparatus, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: calibrate video data based on audio data, the video data and the audio data associated with a media stream, generate a signature representative of the media stream based on the calibrated video data, compare the signature to a signature database to identify a matching signature in the signature database; and credit media corresponding to the matching signature as being viewed.

摘要： Methods and systems are provided for streaming a media asset with an adaptive bitrate transcoder. A server receives, from a client device, a first request for a first portion of the plurality of portions to be transcoded at a first bitrate. The server then starts to transcode the plurality of portions at the requested first bitrate to generate a plurality of corresponding transcoded portions. The server updates a header of a transcoded portion to include: 1) a transcode latency value; and 2) a count value indicating a number of available pre-transcoded portions of the media asset at the time the first request was received. The server then transmits the transcoded portion to the client. The client device then determines a second bitrate based on the transcode latency value included in the header of the transcoded portion corresponding to the first portion.

摘要： Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure improve the functionality of electronic messaging and imaging software and systems by automating the client-side transcoding of video data based on content. For example, an appropriate transcoding configuration can be selected for video data having complex motion or textures. Accordingly, video quality can be improve when complex motions or textures are present.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computing devices are described herein for request and transmission, to a computing device, of media content based on the importance of a portion of the media content. Media content may comprise baseline media content and enhancement data. Based on determining that an importance of a portion of the media content meets a threshold, the computing device may receive the enhancement data. The computing device may receive the enhancement data via a separate interface than the baseline media content. Information about baseline media content, enhancement data, and the importance of a portion of the media content may be contained in a manifest. The threshold for importance may be based on the media content, the enhancement data, an interface to be used, and/or user preferences.

摘要： Delay in initial output of a requested content asset by a computing device may be reduced by sending a first portion of the content asset to the computing device, such as video player, along with a requested information file, such as a manifest file, associated with the content asset. The first portion of the content asset and the manifest file may be processed in parallel by the video player device. The video player device may request a second portion of the content asset according to the manifest file, while the video player device is continuing to process, output and present the first portion of the content asset. The size of the first portion of the content asset may be sized to provide continuous output of the first portion and subsequent portions of the content asset received.

摘要： A computer-implemented method for multi-stream video encoding may include (i) identifying a video stream that includes a static element that changes less frequently between video frames relative to at least one dynamic element within the video stream that changes more frequently between video frames, (ii) extracting data representing the static element from the video stream, (iii) encoding the data representing the static element as a higher-quality video stream having a higher quality relative to a separate, lower-quality video stream of encoded data representing the dynamic element within the video stream, and (iv) transmitting, to a receiving device, the higher-quality video stream and lower-quality video stream in a manner that enables the higher-and lower-quality video streams to be recombined on the receiving device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
