receiving the first window of frames of the media stream;
determining that the media stream is being played on a portable device;

increasing a time offset between the first window of frames and a second window of frames based on an inverse proportionality to the battery charge percentage of the portable device;
receiving the second window of frames of the media stream after the increased time offset;
measuring a plurality of metrics relating to the first and the second windows of frames;
aggregating the plurality of metrics for each window of frames;
determining a window quality of experience value based on the aggregated plurality of metrics; and
