Abstract
A method is disclosed for execution by an apparatus of a multimedia delivery system when distributing streamed media content via UDP. The method includes receiving media content, distributed in a plurality of files, from at least one media source, and identifying, from the received files, associated files including at least one audio file and at least one video file. The method further includes combining the associated files into one source block and encoding the content of the source block. A manifest file describing the content of the source block is then generated. The manifest file and the associated source block are transmitted. Related methods for decoding and separating the combined files in a UE are also provided.
