Abstract :
We propose a system called Comodin, based on a content distribution network (CDN), that provides collaborative media playback services. Specifically, the system enables an Internet-based interactive media service for e-learning and e-entertainment, allowing an explicitly formed group of clients to view and cooperatively control a shared remote media playback
