Methods and apparatus for naming video content chunks
Abstract:
A method for generating a filename for a chunk of streamed video content is disclosed. The method comprises performing a cryptographic hash function on data associated with the chunk of video content (100A) and setting the output hash value of the cryptographic hash function as the chunk filename (100B). A method for recording broadcast video content by a user device is also disclosed. The method comprises receiving a chunk of broadcast video content (310), generating a filename for the received chunk of video content (320) and storing the generated filename in a user specific storage (330). A method for broadcasting a chunk of video content is also disclosed. The method comprises generating metadata corresponding to the chunk of video content (550), the metadata comprising at least one parameter for generating a file name for the chunk of video content, and broadcasting the generated metadata with the chunk of video content (560). Also disclosed are network elements (200, 400, 600, 700) and a computer program product.
