Research direction

Start by reading the HTTP API's existing DASH and HLS streaming paths and trace how codec information reaches native players such as Plex Desktop App. Determine the intended long-polling behavior and how the original codec should be forwarded; the work is done when a native player can consume the long-polling stream with its original codec.
