Abstract

Systems and techniques are provided for intelligently streaming portions of media at higher quality over a limited bandwidth connection. Media may be received. The media may be one of a video and an audio track. The media may be divided into sections with a section start and a section end. Each section of the media may be scored based on an attribute of the section to obtain a priority score for each section. A first section of the media may be sent to be rendered on a remote device at a first quality. A second section of the media may be sent to be rendered on the remote device at a second quality. A portion of the second section may be sent concurrently with the first section. The second section may have a higher priority score than the first section. The second quality may be higher than the first quality.
