ABSTRACT:
The streaming of video data to mobile devices (101to103) is shown in which a support server (106) and an asset server (107, 108) are provided. The support server receives a first request (303) from a mobile device for a selected video asset. The support server relays (304, 305) the first request to the asset server. The asset server serves (306) the selected video stream to the requesting mobile device from the start of the asset. The support server is halted (307) from streaming video and the asset server provides an indication (308) of the halt position to the support server. The support server records an indication of the mobile device and the halt position of the asset. The support server receives a second request (311) from the mobile device for the selected asset. The support server relays (310to313) the selected request to the asset server and the asset server serves (314) the selected asset as a video stream to the requesting mobile device from the previous halt position.
