Abstract
The disclosure relates generally to providing content from a source to a user device. In one implementation, a source such as a server receives a request for a master manifest file. The server may identify one or more other manifest files and at least one data block associated with the content. The other manifest files can include manifest files referenced by the master manifest file, or can include manifest files associated with related content. The requested master manifest, the one or more other manifest files, and the at least one data block can be pushed to the user device.
