Abstract

A client computing device (115) determines a desired adjustment to a transmission rate of a media stream (245) received from the content server device (110), and encodes the desired adjustment to the transmission rate in an object ordering priority (255) field of a request (250) for a media portion (215). The client computing device (115) sends the request (250) to the content server device (110) to adjust the transmission rate of the media stream (245) with respect to the media portion (215). The content server device (110) receives the request (25) for the media portion (215) from the client computing device (115), and adjusts the transmission rate of the media stream (245) based on the object ordering priority (255). The content server device (110) transmits the media portion (215) to the client computing device (115) via the media stream (245) at the adjusted transmission rate.
