Abstract
Techniques are described for obtaining and analyzing deep characterization information for a content playback system with multiple interconnected components. A server can determine a subset of configurations of requested media content that are compatible with the capabilities of the components of the content playback system. Limiting a client device to select media content fragments corresponding to the subset of configurations can be enforced through the use of constrained manifest files.
