Abstract
A method includes: accessing a set of errors occurring during playback of segments of a video in a first rendition within a device population during a first time period and, during a subsequent time period, in response to receiving a first request for a first segment of the video in the first rendition: deriving, from the set of errors, a first error rate associated with the first segment in the first rendition; and, in response to the first error rate falling below a threshold, serving the first segment. The method also includes, in response to receiving a second request for a second segment of the video in the first rendition: deriving, from the set of errors, a second error rate associated with the second segment in the first rendition; and in response to the second error rate exceeding the threshold, serving the second segment in a second rendition.
