This paper proposes a "chaining" based media content delivery algorithm which supports "VCR operations". The proposed algorithm explicitly balances theclient-side requirements to support the VCR functionalities, while preserving the advantages of using the clientplayback device as a proxy video server, as specified inthe original chaining algorithm.The paper also investigates the effect of supportingVCR operations on the performance of the proposedscheme and the impact these operations have on chaining. To this end, a study to assess the performance ofthe proposed algorithm, within this framework, is conducted. The results show that, for a small communityof clients, increasing user activity, in terms of VCR operations performed during stream delivery, have detrimental effects on primary bandwidth reduction. Furthermore, the results show that a limited subset of VCRoperations appears to boost the effectiveness of chaining. Introducing a full range of VCR functionalities,however, lead to a decrease in the amount of primaryserver bandwidth reduction, thereby indicating an apparent interplay between the number of clients viewinga video and the range of VCR operations supported.
