A system and method for mitigating motion artifacts in a media streaming network, wherein a scheme for facilitating adaptive post-decode (PD) filtering at a client device is provided. Extraction of still area grid information is effectuated at a source media processing node. Extracted still area grid information is multiplexed with audio/video components for appropriately signaling to downstream devices based on media containerization deployed for distribution. A client device is operative to select a suitable PD filter based on a plurality of selection criteria and apply the selected PD filter to the still area grids of the decoded image frames.

A system and method for effectuating channel changes in a multicast adaptive bitrate (MABR) streaming network using a dedicated bandwidth pipe for burst transmitting a requested channel's data. A video management agent is configured to stitch burst-transmitted data with the regular channel stream during the channel change to generate a hybrid stream, which is multicast streamed toward the requesting device. Once the data from the regular channel stream is properly joined, burst transmission ceases and the bandwidth consumed for sending burst-transmitted data is released.

A system and method for effectuating channel changes in a multicast adaptive bitrate (MABR) streaming network using temporarily borrowed bandwidth from a shared progressive download ABR bandwidth pipe for burst transmitting a requested channel's data. A video management agent is configured to stitch burst-transmitted data with the regular channel stream during the channel change to generate a hybrid stream, which is multicast streamed toward the requesting device. Once the data from the regular channel stream is properly joined, burst transmission ceases and the bandwidth consumed for sending burst-transmitted data is released back to the progressive download ABR pipe.
