Abstract
Disclosed is a dynamically adaptable stream segment prefetcher for prefetching stream segments from different media streams with different segment name formats and with different positioning of the segment name iterator within the differing segment name formats. In response to receiving a client issued request for a particular segment of a particular media stream, the prefetcher identifies the segment name format and iterator location using a regular expression matching to the client issued request. The prefetcher then generates prefetch requests based on the segment name format and incrementing a current value for the iterator in the segment name of the client issued request.
