CA 2642666

The present invention relates to methods and systems for streaming content and in particular, live content. The method includes the steps of: receiving a content stream; periodically encoding the received stream into a sequence of content files to thereby create a plurality of sequential content files; assigning a sequence identifier to each content file; storing the files on a host; delivering a data file to a media player responsive to a request for live content, said data file including information enabling the media player to sequentially and individually request each content file from the host and play the requested content file; and delivering requested content files responsive to each request.

La présente invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes pour transmission de contenu en continu, notamment un contenu transmis en direct. Ce procédé consiste à recevoir un flux de contenu, à coder périodiquement le flux reçu dans une séquence de fichiers de contenu afin de créer ainsi plusieurs fichiers de contenu séquentiels, à attribuer un identificateur de séquence à chaque fichier de contenu, à stocker les fichiers sur un hôte, à distribuer un fichier de données à un lecteur multimédia répondant à une demande de contenu transmis en direct. Ledit fichier de données contient des informations permettant au lecteur multimédia de demander de façon séquentielle et individuelle chaque fichier de contenu à l'hôte et de lire le fichier de contenu demandé. Enfin, ledit procédé consiste à distribuer des fichiers de contenu demandés répondant à chaque demande.
