Abstract
Systems, methods and devices are described to encode, deliver and playback a placeshifted media stream via the Internet or another network. The media stream is appropriately encoded at a quality level (e.g., at a bit rate, frame rate, resolution, etc.) that allows content to be delivered faster than it is played back. This sort of 'faster than real time' encoding allows the placeshifted media stream to be buffered at the remote device for more effective performance.
