Abstract:
1. A method for execution by a processing module of a computing device, the method comprises: receiving a first sub-set of encoded data slices, wherein a data segment of multi-media content is encoding using a dispersed storage error coding function to produce a set of encoded data slices, and wherein the set of encoded data slices is partitioned into the first sub-set of encoded data slices and a second sub-set of encoded data slices, wherein the first sub-set of encoded data slices include less than a decode threshold number of encoded data slices; subsequent to receiving the first sub-set of encoded data slices, sending accessing information regarding access to the multi-media content; receiving, as a favorable response to the accessing information, at least one of the encoded data slices of the second sub-set of encoded data slices such that at least the decode threshold number of encoded data slices have been received from the set of encoded data slices; and decoding the at least the decode threshold number of encoded data slices to recover the data segment.
