Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for receiving and transmitting streaming content from a production node to another device in a network. According to an exemplary embodiment, a media player executes a software application that requests streaming content, receives streaming content, prepares the streaming content for playback, and autonomously identifies one or more other media players running the software application. The media player is further adapted to issue a first request to a production node for a first part of the streaming content, receive the first part of the streaming content, and make the first part ready for playback. While receiving the first part of the streaming content, the media player receives a second request from the identified other media player for at least a section of the first part, and transmits at least a part of the section of the first part to the identified other media player.
