Abstract

The newly rectified CTA standard --- Common Media Client Data (CMCD) --- allows content providers to get insights into the performance of their large-scale streaming operations. Its sister standard --- Common Media Server Data (CMSD) --- is in the works and will allow servers to send hints to other servers and clients. The CMCD/CMSD combo is the long-awaited upgrade to HTTP adaptive streaming systems.

The benefits of server hinting when DASHing or HLSing
MHV '22: Proceedings of the 1st Mile-High Video Conference

Streaming clients almost always compete for the available bandwidth and server capacity. Not every client's playback buffer conditions will be the same, though, nor should be the priority with which the server processes the individual requests coming ...
Improving Server and Client-Side Algorithms for Adaptive Streaming of Non-Immersive and Immersive Media
MMSys '21: Proceedings of the 12th ACM Multimedia Systems Conference

HTTP adaptive streaming is a technique widely used in the internet today to stream live and on-demand content. Server and client-side algorithms play an important role in achieving a better user experience in terms of metrics such as latency, ...
Standards-based Streaming Analytics and its Visualization
MMSys '21: Proceedings of the 12th ACM Multimedia Systems Conference

As OTT (over-the-top) media streaming and underlying technologies have matured, streaming analytics has become more important, especially in a heterogeneous device ecosystem, where new devices or software updates can potentially cause streaming issues. ...
