Abstract
A method for distributing an audiovisual content to a terminal is disclosed. The content is received by the terminal in the form of a succession of consecutive segments, each segment being distributed to the terminal following a transmission of a request by the terminal and being obtained by an application of a workflow to a portion of the content. The method executed by the terminal comprises, for each segment: obtaining a list of processing operations representing the workflow; running through the list and, for each processing operation, choosing a module in a set of modules able to execute the processing operation and adding an identifier composed of an address and a port number of a module chosen in a request; the identifier appearing first in the request corresponding to a first module for which the request is intended; for each processing operation, adding to the request information representing the portion of the content and information representing configuration parameters of the corresponding module; and transmitting the request to the first destination module in order to launch the execution of the workflow.
