What Does Next Range Request Tell You?
This value tells you the portion of the segment, in a byte range, to retrieve in response to the user request. This is most often done as a result of the user seeking within the video.
What To Keep In Mind About This Value
If the nor field is not set, then the object is assumed to match the object currently being requested. The client SHOULD NOT depend upon any pre-fetch action being taken if it is merely a request for such a pre-fetch to take place.
Developer Notes
Formatting is similar to the HTTP Range header, except that the unit MUST be byte, the Range: prefix is NOT required and specifying multiple ranges is NOT allowed. Valid combinations are:
