Claim 20:
21. A computer-implemented method for processing video data which is received as a video stream via a network, the method comprising:
via the network, receiving the video stream from an intermediary system;
sequentially decoding the video stream to obtain a series of decoded video data parts;
receiving a processing assist data stream comprising a series of processing assist data from the intermediary system, the processing assist data comprising an analysis result of the analysis of the individual ones of the decoded video data parts of the video data, or a processing instruction derived from the analysis result, wherein the processing assist data includes timing information being indicative of the part of the video stream or the decoded video data part from which the processing assist data was generated, wherein the decoding of a video data part has started before processing assist data of the video data part is provided from the intermediary system; and
sequentially processing the decoded video data parts using the analysis result or the processing instruction provided by the processing assist data, wherein the processor is configured to identify the part of the video stream or the decoded video data part on the basis of the timing information and to use the analysis result or the processing instruction provided by the processing assist data specifically for the processing of said part.
