摘要： A media server in a home entertainment network coordinates with a media receiver connected with the network to provide a media representation with a combined user interface on an attached display device. The media server receives compositing information from the media receiver over the network regarding the placemement of UI components generated by the media receiver. In response, the media server may adjust the positioning of graphics, media control information, metadata, media presentation windows, and other UI components for presentation by the media receiver such that the UI components generated by the media server do not interfere with the UI generated by the media receiver when rendered to the display device. Alternately, the media receiver may adjust the position of UI components such that the UI components generated by the media receiver do not interfere with the UI generated by the media server upon presentation.

摘要： Transrate/transcode functionality of media processing units in devices distributed within a networked media system are harnessed to enable media streaming to devices across networks while overcoming insufficient bandwidth to transmit the source content or while providing reformatted media to devices that do not support the source format. A policy engine may reallocate media processing resources for greater efficiency. The policy engine may further schedule time-slicing of media segments in available hardware and software-based codecs. Time-slicing may be used to transformatively process one or more media streams across potentially multiple media processing units connected within a network. The media streams are divided into independently processable segments based upon knowledge of underlying media formats. Processing requirements and a priority processing order may be determined for and assigned to each independently processable segment. The segments may be scheduled for delivery to the media processing units based upon the assigned priority and processing requirements.
摘要翻译：利用在网络媒体系统内分发的设备中的媒体处理单元的转换/转码功能，以便能够跨网络实现媒体流传输到设备，同时克服不足的带宽来传输源内容，或者将重新格式化的媒体提供给不支持源格式的设备。策略引擎可以重新分配媒体处理资源以提高效率。策略引擎可以进一步调度可用硬件和基于软件的编解码器中媒体段的时间分片。时间分片可用于跨网络中连接的潜在的多个媒体处理单元变换处理一个或多个媒体流。基于底层媒体格式的知识，媒体流被分成可独立处理的片段。处理要求和优先处理顺序可以被确定并分配给每个可独立处理的段。可以基于所分配的优先级和处理要求来调度段以传送到媒体处理单元。

摘要： Partial content syncing in a network media receiver is disclosed. One embodiment comprises identifying available cache space on the media receiver, detecting a media data file to be downloaded from a media server, and pre-buffering a portion of the media data on the media receiver prior to selection of the media data file for playback. In this manner, substantially glitch-free playback of a media data file may be started with little delay and with relatively little local storage.
摘要翻译：公开了网络媒体接收机中的部分内容同步。一个实施例包括识别媒体接收器上的可用高速缓存空间，检测要从媒体服务器下载的媒体数据文件，以及在选择用于播放的媒体数据文件之前，预先缓冲媒体接收器上的媒体数据的一部分。以这种方式，媒体数据文件的基本上无毛刺的回放可以以很小的延迟和相对较少的本地存储开始。

摘要： A media server in a home entertainment network allows a media rendering device to act as a digital media receiver. The media server enables trick mode functions such as scan forward or reverse, slow motion, pause, and seek on rendering devices with capabilities limited to 1× playback. The media server receives commands from user input at the rendering device transmitted over the network to the media server. The media server manipulates the media stream before transmission over the network by deleting or adding frames to the media stream as necessary to emulate the desired playback functions and replacing frame timestamps to create a media stream that appears to the media rendering device as a sequential 1× stream. The transmitted media stream may not contain all of the media content stored in the corresponding media file on the media server, thus avoiding limitations on the download bandwidth and local client storage.
摘要翻译：家庭娱乐网络中的媒体服务器允许媒体呈现设备充当数字媒体接收器。媒体服务器启用特技模式功能，如向前扫描或反向扫描，慢动作，暂停和寻找具有限于1×播放功能的渲染设备。媒体服务器从通过网络发送的呈现设备的用户输入接收到媒体服务器的命令。媒体服务器在通过网络传输之前通过删除或添加帧到媒体流来操纵媒体流，以便模拟期望的播放功能和替换帧时间戳以创建媒体呈现设备出现的媒体流作为顺序1× 流。传输的媒体流可以不包含存储在媒体服务器上的相应媒体文件中的所有媒体内容，从而避免对下载带宽和本地客户端存储的限制。

摘要： Described herein is technology for, among other uses, performing playback of dynamic content using protocols designed for playback of fixed-length files. The technology involves strategically updating the duration of the content during playback under various conditions. During playback, as the playback position approaches the duration, the duration is refreshed. Also, during playback the rate at which the duration is increasing is used to predict the duration and thus smoothly report the duration to the user. Upon receiving a seek request, if the request is beyond the current duration, the duration will be refreshed to avoid unnecessarily limiting the seek request.
摘要翻译：这里描述的是用于使用为播放固定长度文件而设计的协议来执行动态内容的回放的技术。该技术涉及在各种条件下在播放过程中策略性地更新内容的持续时间。在播放期间，随着播放位置接近持续时间，刷新持续时间。此外，在回放期间，使用持续时间增加的速率来预测持续时间，从而平滑地向用户报告持续时间。一旦接收到寻求请求，如果请求超出了当前持续时间，则持续时间将被刷新，以避免不必要地限制寻求请求。
