A method includes receiving a plurality of images at an encoder device. The plurality of images is encoded by the encoder device to generate an output video stream. The output video stream includes a plurality of encoded video frames corresponding to the plurality of images. While receiving the plurality of images and while generating the output video stream, the encoder device receives a notification that a particular image of the plurality of images satisfies a thumbnail generation condition based on stream analysis of one or more of the plurality of images. The output video stream is sent concurrently with a supplemental data package to a media server. The supplemental data package comprises a thumbnail and metadata associated with the thumbnail, the thumbnail generated from the particular image responsive to receiving the notification.

Systems and methods of thumbnail generation

A computing device includes a processor and a memory storing a media player. The media player is executable to cause the processor to, during playback of a media stream, receive an abstract syntax tree (AST) in the media stream, invoke a compiler to compile the AST to generate a platform-specific component, and execute the platform-specific component.

Systems and methods of communicating platform-independent representation of source code

A method includes receiving a plurality of images at an encoder device and encoding the plurality of encoder images to generate an output video stream, where the output video stream includes a plurality of encoded video frames corresponding to the plurality of images. During generation of the output video stream, the encoder device receives a notification that a particular image of the plurality of images satisfies a thumbnail generation condition. In response to the notification, the encoder device generates a thumbnail from the particular image and sends the output video stream to a media server.

A method includes receiving, at a media player at a computing device, a first portion of a media stream, and initiating playback of the first portion of the media stream. The method also includes receiving a second portion of the media stream during the playback of the first portion of the media stream, the second portion of the media stream including a platform-independent representation of source code. The method further includes compiling the platform-independent representation of the source code to generate a platform-specific component that is executable by the computing device. The method includes executing the platform-specific component at the computing device during execution of the media player at the computing device.
