Abstract
Embodiments herein provide methods and systems for saving data while streaming a video. The embodiments include streaming a first fragment of the video at a bit-rate based on network conditions. In an embodiment, the scene content complexity of the first fragment can be analyzed while streaming the first fragment. Based on the screen complexity, the second fragment can be streamed at a bit-rate based on the network conditions and the analyzed screen complexity. In another embodiment, a second fragment can be received at a minimum possible resolution and, thereafter, the scene content complexity of the second fragment can be analyzed while streaming the first fragment. Based on the screen complexity of the second fragment, it can be streamed at a bit-rate based on the network conditions and the analyzed screen complexity. There may be no perceptible difference in streamed quality of the first fragment and the second fragment.
