Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving a constant bit rate video stream representing a single video from a video source via a managed broadband connection; converting the constant bit rate video stream into a single non-adaptive bit rate video stream by modifying a video transport protocol stack of the video stream for compatibility with a home device media player video transport protocol stack; modifying a video control protocol stack of the non-adaptive bit rate video stream for compatibility with a device in a home network; adding a home networking transport protocol stack to the video stream, wherein the home networking transport protocol stack is such that it would appear to the device in the home network as if the video stream came from a server local to the home network; delivering the video stream to a device in the home network; and acting as a remote user interface (RUI) proxy by providing an RUI to the device in the home network, the RUI allowing a user of the device in the home network to interact with the video source to control aspects of the video via the RUI proxy.
