SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERALIZED HTTP HEADERS IN DYNAMIC ADAPTIVE STREAMING OVER HTTP (DASH)

摘要

Systems and methods for streaming content are disclosed. A Media Presentation Description (MPD) may be associated with streaming content for example in Dynamic Adaptive Streaming Over HTTP (DASH). An MPD may comprise an element e.g. a header element or URL query element which provides a name/Value functionality. An element may allow a request that results in insertion of custom headers. Requests may be used for retrieval of a subsegment segment or MPD re referencing of remote elements or triggered by an event. The event may be embedded either in an MPD or in segments.
