### How SmartSight QBR Saves Bandwidth & Objectively Improves QoE
MediaMelon’s SmartSight QBR (aka SmartPlay) is a streaming optimization solution that reduces bandwidth use by 35% or more and improves QoE while working with your existing ABR content without re-encoding. As you’ll read in this post, SmartSight QBR works by analyzing the quality of every segment in an ABR package using a objectively researched technique that produces an iMOS hintfile, which is used by the SmartSight enabled video player to improve the logic that selects how video segments are retrieved.You just saw the output.

The same call, in code.
The keyless call above returns markdown. These examples add a key, so you get browser rendering, proxies, and concurrency on mediamelon.com.
import { SpiderBrowser } from "spider-browser";
const spider = new SpiderBrowser({
apiKey: process.env.SPIDER_API_KEY!,
});
await spider.connect();
const page = spider.page!;
await page.goto("https://mediamelon.com");
// No selectors, no schema. Spider reads the page and names the fields.
const data = await page.scrape();
console.log(data);
await spider.close();import { Spider } from "@spider-cloud/spider-client";
const spider = new Spider({ apiKey: process.env.SPIDER_API_KEY! });
const result = await spider.scrapeUrl("https://www.mediamelon.com", {
return_format: "markdown",
});

Fields you can pull.
Spider names these from the page. The capture above came back as markdown; the same
call with return_format: "json" returns them as keys.
