Abstract
Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed. An example method includes receiving a first hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) communication, the first HTTP communication including a first request for a media segment from a first client device; transmitting metadata in a second HTTP communication to the first client device, the metadata corresponding to the media segment; transmitting a datagram using User Datagram Protocol (UDP), the datagram transmitted to the first client device and a second client device, the first client device and the second client device causing presentation of a same media stream; receiving a third HTTP communication after the transmissions, the third HTTP communication including a second request for the media segment, the third HTTP communication from the second client device; and transmitting, by executing an instruction with a processor, the metadata in a fourth HTTP communication to the second client device.
