A system and method for providing zone-specific media to a user. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide a system and method that flexibly selects and provides media content (e.g., audio content), where such content is selected based, at least in part, on a user location (e.g., location within a premises).

The adaptive progressive downloading of a content broadcast in real time on a radiocommunication network, implemented by a multimedia stream player terminal connected to the radiocommunication network is disclosed. A method implements, before playing the content, a configuration, according to at least one characteristic of the radiocommunication network, of a depth of buffer dedicated to the temporary storage of the content before playing, in the multimedia stream player terminal.

In a method of conducting a meeting and controlling a meeting terminal with a client device, users conveniently uses their own account on different terminal devices to share data. The method prevents users from forgetting to log out of their accounts on other devices and allows users to operate with familiar devices and user interface for control. Besides, the method can also flexibly allow the user to select the functional unit of the client device or the meeting terminal for application according to the situation during the video meeting.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing error detection in a network, and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing error and/or fault detection in a network and/or media stream and providing options to address the error and/or fault in the network and/or media stream. In various embodiments, a computer might detect an error in a first network and send a notification indicating that the error has occurred. The notification might contain one or more options to address the error in the first network. The computer, a user device, a service provider device, or a content provider device might receive and display the notification containing the one or more options. The computer, the user device, the service provider device, or the content provider device might then select at least one of the one or more options to address the error in the first network.

A system and method for transmission of a video stream are provided. The system may include: an encoder adapted to generate a video stream comprising a plurality of encoded frames, encoded according to at least one encoding parameter; a comparator in communication with the encoder, the comparator adapted to compare encoded frames of the plurality of encoded frames with input frames to determine a fitness metric reflective of visual quality of the encoded frames; and a controller in communication with the comparator, the controller adapted to adjust the at least one encoding parameter based on the fitness metric.

A method and apparatus for processing events in a media stream may be provided. The method may include obtaining media data; generating, from the media data, one or more event segments and one or more media segments; parsing a respective event from the one or more event segments to determine an event start time, event end time, and dispatch mode; appending the respective event from the one or more event segments to an event dispatch buffer based on a comparison of the event start time and a current playback position, and a determination that the respective event is not present in an already dispatched buffer; and dispatching the respective event based on the position associated with the respective event in the event dispatch buffer, the event start time, the event end time, and the current playback position.
