Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0120917A1] There is disclosed a video distribution server (180) for use in a communication network (140) capable of communicating with subscribers seeking to download video files and video content servers (150, 160, 170) capable of providing the video files. The video distribution server (180) comprises a first controller (222) for displaying video selection menus to a first subscriber, wherein a first video selection menu contains a first menu option associated with a first video file. The first controller (222) receives from the first subscriber a first video selection message selecting the first video file for transmission to a first video player (112) device used by the first subscriber. The first controller (222), in response to receipt of the first video selection message, transmits to a first video content server (150) having the first video file a video request message comprising a subscriber identifier associated with the first video player (112). The video request message causes the first video content server (150) to transmit the first video file to the first video player (112) when the first video player subsequently transmits the subscriber identifier to the first video content server (150).
