Methods and systems are disclosed for a mobile device to decode video based on available power and/or energy. For example, the mobile device may receive a media description file (MDF) from for a video stream from a video server. The MDF may include complexity information associated with a plurality of video segments. The complexity information may be related to the amount of processing power to be utilized for decoding the segment at the mobile device. The mobile device may determine at least one power metric for the mobile device. The mobile device may determine a first complexity level to be requested for a first video segment based on the complexity information from the MDF and the power metric. The mobile device may dynamically alter the decoding process to save energy based on the detected power/energy level.

A video processing method includes performing a conversion between a video including one or more pictures and a bitstream of the video. The bitstream conforms to a format rule specifying that one or more syntax elements indicative of coding information are selectively included in a picture parameter set of the bitstream responsive to whether it is indicated that each picture referring to the picture parameter set includes a single slice.

A load balancing method for video decoding. The load balancing includes first determining which hardware devices are suitable for the new decoding process, and determining the current load of each of the suitable hardware devices. From the suitable devices potential devices are selected having a current load less than a threshold and overloaded devices are selected having a load greater than or equal to the threshold. If there are no suitable devices, then the decoding process is implemented by software decoding. If the list of potential hardware devices includes only one potential hardware device, then the decoding process is implemented on the hardware device. If the list of potential hardware devices includes more than one potential hardware device, then it is determined how many decoding processes are currently running on each potential hardware device, and the new decoding process is implemented on the potential hardware device having the fewest processes.
