Video quality monitoring system

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing encoding or decoding of adaptive bitrate streams. In various embodiments, one or more first computing systems may divide a live media content stream into one or more segments, each segment might include a starting segment boundary and an ending segment boundary. The one or more first computing systems might encode the one or more segments into one or more primary adaptive bitrate streams. The one or more first computing systems might also divide the one or more segments of the live media content stream into one or more subsegments. Each subsegment might be less than a length of a corresponding segment of the one or more segments. The one or more first computing systems might the encode and/or a second computing system might decode the one or more subsegments into or from one or more secondary adaptive bitrate streams.

Gapped and/or subsegmented adaptive bitrate streams

A method is provided that includes setting, by a controller, a first bit-rate level for a next video segment, and comparing a fill level of a playback buffer to a first threshold. If the fill level of the playback buffer satisfies the first threshold, the first bit-rate level for the next video segment is replaced by setting a second bit-rate level for the next video. A first request is issued to a server for the next video segment encoded at the first bit-rate level or, if the fill level of the playback buffer satisfies the first threshold, encoded at the second bit-rate level and downloading of the requested next video segment and storing the requested video segment in the playback buffer. A decoder decodes the next video segment from the playback buffer for playback on a display device after the next video segment has been downloaded and stored in the playback buffer.

Rebuffering reduction in adaptive bit-rate video streaming

A data analytics device for application monitoring includes an application-monitor manager engine to receive configuration files from a cloud server and to generate monitoring rules for a number of monitors. A data-processing engine is coupled to the application-monitor manager engine and the monitors and coordinates activities of the plurality of monitors.
