Abstract
A streaming server receives a request to provide a requested media stream to a client-side media player. The client-side media player is capable of assembling portions of different media streams into a single playout stream and outputting the single playout stream to a user interface. In response to receiving the request, the streaming server transmits the requested media stream to the client-side media player. The streaming server also transmits a stream provider rule, which constrains assembly of the single playout stream by the client-side media player.
