In one aspect, a first client device receives, from a second client device, a request to stream a media item from a first position within the media item. The first client device obtains, from a server, a seektable that identifies a plurality of segments into which content corresponding to the media item is divided, wherein each segment of the plurality of segments corresponds to multiple samples of the media item. The first client device consults the seektable to determine a segment of the media item to retrieve in response to the request, the segment including content at the first position. After consulting the seektable, the device retrieves, from the server, the segment of the media item. The first client device plays the content corresponding to the first position using the retrieved segment.

Systems and methods for using seektables to stream media items

In one aspect, a client device receives a request to stream a media item from a first position. Content corresponding to the media item includes samples identified in a container file. The client device obtains, independently of the container file, a seektable that is not included with the container file and that identifies a plurality of segments into which content corresponding to the media item is divided. The seektable is stored using a mark-up language that is natively compatible with a software development kit (SDK) executing on the client device. The client device consults the seektable to determine a segment of the media item to retrieve in response to the request, the segment including content at the first position, and, after consulting the seektable, retrieves the segment of the media item and plays the content corresponding to the first position using the retrieved segment.

The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a processing device comprising a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The method comprises detecting a selection event at a position in the GUI, as input via the GUI. The method also comprises deciding that the detected selection event relates to a first graphical control element in the GUI which was present in said position at a point of time a predetermined time period before the detection of the selection event. The method also comprises executing an action associated with the first graphical control element.

System and method for preventing unintended user interface input

A client device receives a request to stream a media item from a first position. Content corresponding to the media item includes samples identified in a container file for the media item. The client device obtains, independently of the container file, a seektable that is not included with the container file and that identifies a plurality of segments into which content corresponding to the media item is divided. Each segment of the plurality of segments includes multiple samples. The client device consults the seektable to determine a segment of the media item to retrieve in response to the request. The segment includes content at the first position. After consulting the seektable, the client device retrieves the segment of the media item and plays the content corresponding to the first position using the retrieved segment.
