DETERMINATION OF AVAILABILITY OF CHUNKS OF DATA FOR NETWORK STREAMING MEDIA DATA

Abstract:

An example device for transporting media data includes: a memory configured to store media data; and one or more processors implemented in circuitry and configured to: determine that a manifest file for a media presentation includes data representing a delta time value for a resynchronization element of a segment of the media presentation; determine a multiple of the delta time value; determine a number of chunks of the segment that are currently available for retrieval using the multiple of the delta time value; send a request to a server device for the chunks of the segment that are currently available, wherein the request omits chunks of the segment that are not currently available; and store data of chunks received in response to the request in the memory.
