Utility
Video playback in an online streaming environment
26 Apr 22
A computer-implemented method of displaying video content includes, based on an input to transition playback of a video content item from a first media player that is instantiated in a user interface to a second media player that is instantiated in the user interface, determining a current value of a first state descriptor associated with the first media player; setting a value of a second state descriptor associated with the second media player to match the current value of the first state descriptor; and after setting the value of the second state descriptor, causing the second media player to begin playback of the video content item, wherein the second media player begins playing the video content item based on the value of the second state descriptor.

Utility
Configurable Access-based Cache Policy Control
17 Mar 22
Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a computer-implemented method of receiving a header associated with an object, where the header includes a limit value that specifies a quantity of times the object is to be served from a cache device before revalidation, and a current count value that specifies a number of times that the object has been served since a most-recent revalidation or load, receiving a request for the object from a requesting device, and upon determining that the current count value is below the limit value, serving the object to the requesting device from the cache device, or upon determining that the current count value matches the limit value, transmitting a request for revalidating the object.
