Method for managing multimedia content, and device for carrying out said method
A method for managing multimedia contents is proposed, which method comprises: obtaining a first set of multimedia-content description metadata describing a first multimedia content delivered in dynamic mode; on reading, from the first set of metadata, a splice indicator indicating a splice to a second set of multimedia-content description metadata, reading, from the first set of metadata, an address storage indicator; and storing, in a memory, an address of the first set of metadata.
1. A method of managing multimedia contents, the method comprising:
obtaining a first set of multimedia-content description metadata describing a first multimedia content delivered in dynamic mode;
upon reading, from the first set of multimedia-content description metadata, a splice indicator indicating a splice to a second set of multimedia-content description metadata, reading, from the first set of multimedia-content description metadata, an address storage indicator; and
storing, in a memory, an address of the first set of multimedia-content description metadata, based on the address storage indicator.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the splice indicator indicating the splice from the first set of multimedia-content description metadata to the second set of multimedia-content description metadata comprises a chaining indicator indicating the chaining of sets of multimedia-content description metadata.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the splice indicator indicating the splice from the first set of multimedia-content description metadata to the second set of multimedia-content description metadata comprises an address of the second set of multimedia-content description metadata.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stored address corresponds to an address from which the first set of multimedia-content description metadata was downloaded from a server.
5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising: on reading, from the second set of multimedia-content description metadata, a return indicator, splicing reading from the second set of multimedia-content description metadata to the first set of multimedia-content description metadata using the address of the first set of multimedia-content description metadata.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second sets of multimedia-content description metadata are manifest in dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) format.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the address storage indicator comprises a Uniform Resource Name, URN, descriptor of type: urn:mpeg:dash:origin-set or urn:mpeg:dash:origin-set:2019.
8. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the return indicator comprises a Uniform Resource Name, URN, descriptor of type: urn:mpeg:dash:origin-back or: urn:mpeg:dash:origin-back:2019.
9. A device for playing multimedia content, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that is operationally coupled to the processor,
wherein the processor is configured to implement a method of managing multimedia contents, the method comprising:
obtaining a first set of multimedia-content description metadata describing a first multimedia content delivered in dynamic mode,
upon reading, from the first set of multimedia-content description metadata, a splice indicator indicating a splice to a second set of multimedia-content description metadata, reading, from the first set of multimedia-content description metadata, an address storage indicator, and
storing, in a memory, an address of the first set of multimedia-content description metadata, based on the address storage indicator.
10. The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the splice indicator indicating the splice from the first set of multimedia-content description metadata to the second set of multimedia-content description metadata comprises a chaining indicator indicating the chaining of sets of multimedia-content description metadata.
11. The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the splice indicator indicating the splice from the first set of multimedia-content description metadata to the second set of multimedia-content description metadata comprises an address of the second set of multimedia-content description metadata.
12. The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the stored address corresponds to an address from which the first set of multimedia-content description metadata was downloaded from a server.
13. The device as claimed in claim 12 , further comprising: on reading, from the second set of multimedia-content description metadata, a return indicator, splicing reading from the second set of multimedia-content description metadata to the first set of multimedia-content description metadata using the address of the first set of multimedia-content description metadata.
14. The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first and second sets of multimedia-content description metadata are manifest in dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) format.
15. The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the address storage indicator comprises a Uniform Resource Name, URN, descriptor of type: urn:mpeg:dash:origin-set or urn:mpeg:dash:origin-set:2019.
16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which is stored a computer-executable program, including a data set representing one or more programs, said one or more programs including instructions that, on execution of said one or more programs by a computer including a processor operationally coupled to a memory and to an input/output interface module, cause the computer to manage multimedia contents according to a method of managing multimedia contents, the method comprising:
obtaining a first set of multimedia-content description metadata describing a first multimedia content delivered in dynamic mode;
upon reading, from the first set of multimedia-content description metadata, a splice indicator indicating a splice to a second set of multimedia-content description metadata, reading, from the first set of multimedia-content description metadata, an address storage indicator; and
storing, in a memory, an address of the first set of multimedia-content description metadata, based on the address storage indicator.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the splice indicator indicating the splice from the first set of multimedia-content description metadata to the second set of multimedia-content description metadata comprises a chaining indicator indicating the chaining of sets of multimedia-content description metadata.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the splice indicator indicating the splice from the first set of multimedia-content description metadata to the second set of multimedia-content description metadata comprises an address of the second set of multimedia-content description metadata.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the stored address corresponds to an address from which the first set of multimedia-content description metadata was downloaded from a server.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 19 , further comprising: on reading, from the second set of multimedia-content description metadata, a return indicator, splicing reading from the second set of multimedia-content description metadata to the first set of multimedia-content description metadata using the address of the first set of multimedia-content description metadata.
