Abstract:
A system and method for seamlessly switching between multiple media streams of multimedia content is disclosed. A media server transmits a first media stream to a media client and a media player plays it to a user. At some point, a request to play a second media stream at the media client is detected. A media stream buffer is provided that buffers one or both of the media streams. The media stream buffer enables the media player to continue to play at least one of the media streams while switching between the first media stream and the second media stream. Since the media player continues to play at least one of the media streams to the user without interruption, the switch from the first media stream to the second media stream is thus affected seamlessly.
