A method for receiving media data includes receiving a media presentation description (MPD) file and a session-based description (SBD) file, and determining whether the SBD file includes a starting time attribute indicating a starting time of an SBD timeline of a session. The method also includes determining the starting time of the SBD timeline based on the SBD file in response to the SBD file including the starting time attribute. The method further includes, in response to the SBD file not including the starting time attribute, determining the starting time of the SBD timeline based on an availability starting time attribute of an MPD element of the MPD file in response to (i) a type of the MPD file being dynamic and (ii) a determination that an SBD descriptor corresponding to the SBD file is included in the MPD file at an MPD level.

Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for viewport selection for hypervideo presentation. In a method for viewport selection for hypervideo presentation, a multiplicity of different hypervideos, for example 360° hypervideos, are played back to an end user and end user interactions by the end user with each of the different hypervideos are recorded. Then, an end user profile for the end user is computed from the recorded end user interactions so as to specify a particular viewport. Finally, in response to a directive by the end user to view a new hypervideo, the end user profile is retrieved and the particular viewport identified so that the new hypervideo is played back to the end user utilizing the particular viewport.

Disclosed are a system, method and apparatus for dynamically generating a personalized video content at run time, through a browser embedded video player is disclosed. A video configuration metadata file and a template video comprising one or more replaceable placeholders are received at a client device. User data id extracted from at least one user data source. The user data is validated based on a set of personalization parameters extracted from the user data source. The extracted user data is appended in the video configuration metadata file to generate an updated video configuration metadata file. The updated video configuration metadata file is parsed to generate one or more of overlay elements. The one or more placeholders are populated with corresponding one or more overlay elements. The overlay element is automatically arranging over the template video based on a set of predetermined rules and the personalized video content is presented.

Methods, apparatus and systems related to packaging a multimedia content for distribution are described. In one example aspect, a method for performing post-production editing includes receiving one or more footages of an event from at least one user. The method includes constructing, based on information about the event, a script to indicate a structure of multiple temporal units of the one or more footages, and extracting semantic meaning from the one or more footages based on a multimodal analysis comprising at least an audio analysis and a video analysis. The method also includes adding editing instructions to the script based on the structure of the multiple temporal units and the semantic meaning extracted from the one or more footages and performing editing operations based on the editing instructions to generate an edited multimedia content based on the one or more footages.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a transmission method for enabling transmission of content using a broadcast and a communication channel includes: transmitting playback control information and service information using at least the broadcast wave, the service information being information for playing back content transmission using the broadcast and content transmission using the communication channel when the content is transmitted using the broadcast and the communication channel. The service information includes the content and location information that indicates a location for acquiring meta-information on playback control of the second content. The playback control information includes indexes of a relationship between the first content data and the second content data.
