Abstract
A disclosed methodology for processing language descriptors includes receiving streaming multimedia content that includes initial language descriptors. Portions of the multimedia content stream are encapsulated into packets that include an indication of the initial language descriptors. Later in time, further language descriptors are received with the streaming multimedia content. As a series of packets created from the multimedia content stream are processed, the indication of received language descriptor is adapted to account for any change in the language of audio tracks received with the streaming multimedia content.

21. A method of streaming content, the method comprising:
-
encapsulating, by an encoder, a portion of streaming content into a packet, wherein the packet includes an indication of an initial language descriptor included in the streaming content; and subsequently receiving, by the encoder, a second language descriptor and, in response thereto, including an indication of the second language descriptor in a subsequent packet. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program instructions, executable by a processor, wherein the program instructions, when executed by the processor, perform operations comprising:
-
identifying an initial language descriptor received with streaming content; indicating the initial language descriptor in a packet, wherein the packet corresponds to a portion of the streaming content; and upon detecting a change from the initial language descriptor to a second language descriptor, providing an indication of the second language descriptor in a subsequent packet, wherein the subsequent packet corresponds to a chronologically subsequent portion of the streaming content. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. An encoder, comprising:
-
an input for receiving a content stream that includes an initial language descriptor value indicative of a language associated with an audio component of an initial portion of the content stream; and a processor for encapsulating streaming content into a series of packets, wherein individual packets of a first portion of the series of packets include a packet header with an indication of the initial language descriptor value, wherein the processor is further for adapting further packet headers associated with a subsequent portion of the series of packets to include a further indication of a second language descriptor. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40)
