A method of providing power saving information for media content, the method comprising: receiving media content comprising a plurality of media segments; determining (1020; 1050) a first power consumption indicator for a first media segment and a second power consumption indicator for a second media segment of the plurality of media segments, wherein the first power consumption indicator estimates power usage when the first media segment is displayed and wherein the second power consumption indicator estimates power usage when the second media segment is displayed; determining (1030; 1060) power saving information for the first media segment based on the first power consumption indicator for the first media segment and power saving information for the second media segment based on the second power consumption indicator for the second media segment, including: determining a first indicator of playout time for the first media segment based on the first power consumption indicator for the first media segment, wherein the indicator of playout time for the first media segment indicates a shorter playout time than an original playout time for the first media segment, and determining a second indicator of playout time for the second media segment, wherein the second indicator of playout time indicates a longer playout time than an original playout time for the second media segment, and wherein the first indicator of playout time and the second indicator of playout time when applied to the first media segment and the second media segment, respectively, result in substantially the same playout time for the media content as an original playout time for the media content, wherein the power saving information for the first media segment indicates a possible power consumption reduction for the first media segment and the power saving information for the second media segment indicates a possible power consumption reduction for the second media segment; and providing the power saving information for the first media segment and for the second media segment, including the first indicator of playout time and the second indicator of playout time. receiving media content comprising a plurality of media segments; determining (1020; 1050) a first power consumption indicator for a first media segment and a second power consumption indicator for a second media segment of the plurality of media segments, wherein the first power consumption indicator estimates power usage when the first media segment is displayed and wherein the second power consumption indicator estimates power usage when the second media segment is displayed; determining (1030; 1060) power saving information for the first media segment based on the first power consumption indicator for the first media segment and power saving information for the second media segment based on the second power consumption indicator for the second media segment, including: determining a first indicator of playout time for the first media segment based on the first power consumption indicator for the first media segment, wherein the indicator of playout time for the first media segment indicates a shorter playout time than an original playout time for the first media segment, and determining a second indicator of playout time for the second media segment, wherein the second indicator of playout time indicates a longer playout time than an original playout time for the second media segment, and wherein the first indicator of playout time and the second indicator of playout time when applied to the first media segment and the second media segment, respectively, result in substantially the same playout time for the media content as an original playout time for the media content, determining a first indicator of playout time for the first media segment based on the first power consumption indicator for the first media segment, wherein the indicator of playout time for the first media segment indicates a shorter playout time than an original playout time for the first media segment, and determining a second indicator of playout time for the second media segment, wherein the second indicator of playout time indicates a longer playout time than an original playout time for the second media segment, and wherein the first indicator of playout time and the second indicator of playout time when applied to the first media segment and the second media segment, respectively, result in substantially the same playout time for the media content as an original playout time for the media content, wherein the power saving information for the first media segment indicates a possible power consumption reduction for the first media segment and the power saving information for the second media segment indicates a possible power consumption reduction for the second media segment; and providing the power saving information for the first media segment and for the second media segment, including the first indicator of playout time and the second indicator of playout time.
