Method for enabling low-latency streaming of segments via a network to a HTTP-based Adaptive Streaming client in a content processing device , said client being configured to request and receive segments from a server system on the basis of a manifest file, said method comprising: a monitoring system in said network collecting quality metrics associated with one or more streaming paths between said client and one or more streaming servers in said server system and storing said quality metrics in a quality database in said network; and, determining quality of service information on the basis of said quality metrics, said quality of service information defining one or more QoS levels, wherein said one or more QoS levels comprise at least a low latency level associated with one or more configuration parameters for configuring the client in a low-latency mode and a high latency level associated with one or more configuration parameters for configuring the client in a high-latency mode, said one or more configuration parameters comprising: at least one buffer size parameter for determining the size of the buffer before play-out of data in said buffer is started; and/or, at least one segment request parameter, for determining the first segment selected from the segments identified in said manifest file that the segment request function will request from said streaming server, said method further comprising: sending to the content processing device said quality of service information, and on the basis of said quality of service information, a configuration module in said content processing device configuring a buffer in said content processing device; and/or, a segment request function in said content processing device, using said one or more configuration parameters. a monitoring system in said network collecting quality metrics associated with one or more streaming paths between said client and one or more streaming servers in said server system and storing said quality metrics in a quality database in said network; and, determining quality of service information on the basis of said quality metrics, said quality of service information defining one or more QoS levels, wherein said one or more QoS levels comprise at least a low latency level associated with one or more configuration parameters for configuring the client in a low-latency mode and a high latency level associated with one or more configuration parameters for configuring the client in a high-latency mode, said one or more configuration parameters comprising: at least one buffer size parameter for determining the size of the buffer before play-out of data in said buffer is started; and/or, at least one segment request parameter, for determining the first segment selected from the segments identified in said manifest file that the segment request function will request from said streaming server, said method further comprising: at least one buffer size parameter for determining the size of the buffer before play-out of data in said buffer is started; and/or, at least one segment request parameter, for determining the first segment selected from the segments identified in said manifest file that the segment request function will request from said streaming server, said method further comprising: sending to the content processing device said quality of service information, and on the basis of said quality of service information, a configuration module in said content processing device configuring a buffer in said content processing device; and/or, a segment request function in said content processing device, using said one or more configuration parameters. <EOS>
