Abstract

An electronic device sends a content stream, via an unmanaged network, toward a client device and monitors the capacity of the unmanaged network. The device determines whether an aggregate bandwidth of an upcoming portion of the content stream fits the capacity. The upcoming portion of the content stream includes video content and user-interface data. In response to a determination that the aggregate bandwidth of the upcoming portion of the content stream does not fit the capacity, when the user-interface data is not the result of a user interaction: the device prioritizes a frame rate of the video content over latency for the user-interface data, and in accordance with a determination that the aggregate bandwidth of the upcoming portion of the content stream does not fit the capacity, sends ahead one or more frames of the video content in the upcoming portion, and delays the user-interface data in the upcoming portion.
