The system includes a personal media streaming appliance system configured to connect to a media delivery system and receive media content from the media delivery system at least via a cellular network. The personal media streaming appliance system includes one or more preset buttons for playing media content associated with the preset buttons. The media contents associated with the preset buttons are automatically determined to be personalized to the user of the system.

A method of predicting point cloud attribute coding includes receiving point cloud data comprising one or more candidate points and extracting one or more candidate attribute values for the one or more candidate points from the received point cloud data. The method further includes calculating a weighted median from the one or more extracted candidate attribute values and a weight factor, whereby the weight factor corresponds to a relative importance factor of a candidate vector associated with the extracted candidate attribute values. The method further includes assign one or more prediction indices corresponding to attribute data for video encoding to the candidate points in response to the calculation of the weighted median, wherein the prediction indices and processing the media content to encode the attribute data associated with the candidate points having the lowest prediction indices.

Methods, systems, and media for selecting video formats for adaptive video streaming are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: receiving an indication of a video to be presented on a user device; identifying a group of quality metrics for each of a plurality of segments of the video, wherein each quality metric includes values for a particular segment and for a particular format of a group of available formats for the video; selecting a first format for a first segment of the video; causing the first segment of the video to be presented on the user device; identifying a quality of a network connection between the user device and a server that hosts the video; identifying a second format for a second segment of the video based on the quality of the network connection; determining whether a format of the video is to be changed from the first format to the second format based at least on the group of quality metrics for the second segment of the video; and, in response to determining that the format of the video is to be changed from the first format to the second format, causing the second segment having the second format to be presented by the user device.

Media, methods, and systems are provided for audio rerouting to echo cancel audio in web browsers hosting video streams. Spoken audio from a presenter in a video stream may be received via a microphone on a presenter computing device using a first audio connection. Echo cancellation for the presenter may be enabled. Media audio from the presenter may be received originating from a second audio connection. In response to receiving the media audio, a loopback connection for the presenter may be created. In the loopback connection, the presenter may act as both the sender and receiver of the media audio. The loopback connection may have echo cancellation enabled and use the first audio connection. Once the loopback connection is created, the audio may be routed through the loopback connection. The audio may then be played out of an audio output device for the presenter with echo cancellation enabled.

Methods, systems, and storage media for protecting real-time audio/visual (A/V) communications are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: capture, at a sensor of a first A/V communication device, A/V data; transmit the captured data to a secure hardware module of a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) associated with the first A/V communication device, the secure hardware module having a first trusted execution environment (TEE) that is inaccessible by an Operating System (OS) of the SoC associated with the first A/V communication device; encrypt, in the first TEE, the captured data; transmit the encrypted data from the first A/V communication device to a second A/V communication device; receive, at a secure hardware module of a SoC associated with the second A/V communication device, the encrypted data, the secure hardware module of the SoC associated with the second A/V communication device having a second TEE that is inaccessible by an OS of the SoC associated with the second A/V communication device; decrypt, in the second TEE, the encrypted data; and cause presentation of the decrypted data at the second A/V communication device.

Methods and systems for early identification of bitrates for segments in adaptive bitrate streaming can allow the server to begin processing or transcoding content as necessary for delivery, reducing processing and transmission latency. In a first aspect, a client may request a second segment before the first segment has been completely received. The server may begin any transcoding processes for preparing the second segment, and once the server has completed sending the first segment, the server may begin transmitting the now-prepared or partially prepared second segment. The server can then transmit the first and second segment contiguously, with essentially no network dead time. In a second aspect, the client may transmit an early notification of parameters for the request of the second segment, allowing the server to begin transcoding. The client may subsequently request the already-prepared or partially prepared second segment, similarly reducing request-response processing latency.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method that obtains consumption information for each of a group of communication devices associated with a user. A data plan is identified that is applicable to a communication device of the group of communication devices, and a group of media content is identified for the user based on the consumption information. The media content is provided to the communication device at a bit rate that varies according to the data plan. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Methods, computer readable media, and devices for automated routing based on content metadata are provided. One method may include receiving a user request for content with metadata from a client by a content distribution network (CDN), parsing the user request for content to generate an evaluation of the metadata, determining a routing decision representing a selection of one of a plurality of origin services for the user request for content based on the evaluation of the metadata, transmitting the user request for content to the selected one of the plurality of origin services based on the routing decision, receiving a response to the user request for content from the selected one of the plurality of origin services, and sending the response to the client.

Described herein is a system and method for coded streaming data to facilitate recovery from failed or slow processor(s). A batch of processing stream data can be partitioned into a plurality of data chunks. Parity chunk(s) for the plurality of data chunks. The plurality of data chunks and the parity chunk(s) can be provided to processors for processing. Processed data of at least some (e.g., one or more) of the plurality of data chunks, and, processed data of parity chunk(s) are received. When it is determined that processed data for a pre-defined quantity of data chunks has not been received by a pre-defined period of time, the processed data for particular data chunk(s) of particular processor(s) from which processed data has not been received are determined based, at least in part, upon the received processed parity chunk(s) and the received processed data chunk(s).

Systems and methods for provisioning remote display of video streams. For instance, the system includes video cameras, monitoring devices and provisioning server(s). Each video monitoring device includes a client device and a display. The provisioning server is configured to: discover the video cameras by receiving discovery requests; register the video cameras, the registering including storing real time streaming protocol (RTSP) information in the provisioning database; discover the video monitoring devices by receiving discovery requests; register the video monitoring devices, the registering including storing display capabilities in the provisioning database; provide a provisioning portal, the provisioning portal including a graphical user interface for receiving provisioning instructions including assignments of the video cameras to the video monitoring devices, where the provisioning portal stores the received provisioning instructions in the provisioning database; and reconfigure, responsive to the received provisioning instructions, the video monitoring devices to display outputs of selected cameras on the display.
