The invention relates to a method, for controlling at least one path in a multipath environment by a path control entity, wherein the at least one one path is used for transmitting an encrypted video stream comprising a sequence of video segments. The method comprises the following steps: estimating a resolution used in the video stream based on the video segments, and determining that the resolution used in the video stream has changed during the transmission. When it is determined that the resolution used in the video stream has changed, an adaptation of a number of the at least one path used for transmitting the video stream in the multipath configuration is initiated based on the determined change of the resolution.

In a video processing method, a video reverse playback instruction is received. A total video duration of the video and a played duration of the video are obtained in response to the video reverse playback instruction. The video reverse playback instruction indicates that the video is to be played in reverse order. A first reverse playback time point corresponding to the video is determined according to the total video duration and the played duration. Subdata from video data of the video is determined based on a time range indicated by the first reverse playback time point and a pre-loading time threshold. The subdata corresponds to the time range of the video. The subdata is pre-loaded to obtain pre-loaded video data. Further, a first reverse playback video frame corresponding to the first reverse playback time point is obtained from the pre-loaded video data for playback in the reverse order.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for fact-checking contemporary and/or live video streams. In one aspect, the disclosed systems and methods may provide fact-checked commentary and annotations to enhance the enjoyment and engagement with the streaming media. In one aspect, the systems and methods nay generate an overlay for the streaming media that includes fact-checked annotations and comments about statements or assertions made during the live streaming media.

A satellite reception assembly may include a housing configured to support receipt and handling of a plurality of satellite signals. The housing may include circuitry incorporating integrated stacking architecture for supporting and/or providing channel and/or band stacking whereby particular channels or bands, from multiple satellite signals that are received via the satellite reception assembly, may be combined onto a single output signal that may be communicated from the satellite reception assembly to a gateway device for concurrent distribution thereby to a plurality of client devices serviced by the gateway device.

One or more circuits for use in a transceiver that is collocated with a satellite dish, may receive a satellite signal carrying media content, and remove content protection from the received media content. After removing the first content protection, the one or more circuits may apply second content protection to the media content. The content protection applied by the one or more circuits may adhere to a different protocol, utilize different keys, and/or otherwise be distinguishable from the content protection that was removed. After applying the content protection, the one or more circuits may transmit the media content onto one or more links between the satellite dish and one or more client devices. The removal of the content protection may comprise descrambling and/or decrypting the media content. The application of the content protection may comprise scrambling and/or encrypting the media content.

Disclosed are a method, system and device for pushing information, and storage medium thereof. The method includes: receiving an information pushing request transmitted by a service end; then obtaining the online state information of a live broadcast room on the basis of identification information carried in the information pushing request, and according to the online state information, determining a signaling server set; and pushing information content to each signaling server in the signaling server set, and by means of each signaling server, pushing the information content to each client connected to the live broadcast room.

A method and an apparatus for transmitting video-based point cloud contents (VPCC) data by a server are provided. The method includes generating moving picture experts group (MPEG) media transport protocol (MMTP) packets including at least one asset for the VPCC data, generating a signaling message including an asset group message about the at least one asset, and transmitting the MMTP packets and the signaling message to a client.

A satellite reception assembly may include a housing configured to support receipt and handling of a plurality of satellite signals. The housing may include circuitry incorporating integrated stacking architecture for supporting and/or providing channel and/or band stacking whereby particular channels or bands, from multiple satellite signals that are received via the satellite reception assembly, may be combined onto a single output signal that may be communicated from the satellite reception assembly to a gateway device for concurrent distribution thereby to a plurality of client devices serviced by the gateway device.

An improved backhaul protocol is provided, as well as computer-implemented systems and methods for autonomously broadcasting video data, audio data, or video and audio data during an event, wherein the broadcasting can be scheduled in advance and from a remote location (e.g., using a web browser), and wherein the video/audio data is streamed to a remote user over a network using the improved backhaul protocol.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a processing system of a communication node routing data packets for a first streaming session between a viewer node of a plurality of viewer nodes and a content streaming server through the communication node without interrupting delivery of content data to the viewer node, establishing a second streaming session with the content streaming server to receive the content data, creating a first and second replacement connections by imitating a connections with the content streaming server and the viewer node, receiving a control packet over the second streaming session from the content streaming server, and splitting the first streaming session responsive to receiving the control packet. Other embodiments are disclosed.
