On the Monitoring of YouTube QoE in Cellular Networks from End-devices

In this demonstration, we present YoMoApp (YouTube Performance Monitoring Application), a passive measurement application for client side monitoring of YouTube video streaming on mobile Android devices. The application uses the YouTube mobile website and the HTML5 API to exactly replicate the well-known YouTube service, which employs HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) technology based on resolution adaptation. It monitors and stores multiple Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of the video streaming via the YouTube API (i.e., player state/events, buffer, and video quality level), which allow to analyze the QoE of adaptive video streaming sessions.
