Claim 7:
8. The method according to claim 6, further comprising:
wherein determining that the prototype manifest file acquired at the current acquisition timing and the prototype manifest file acquired at the previous acquisition timing are the same comprises:
acquiring a value corresponding to a maximum value of a time length of segments as a first value;
determining a timing of a time when the first value elapses from the previous acquisition timing as a first acquisition timing candidate;
calculating a second value that is a statistical value for a time length of all or some segments of all segments in the prototype manifest file acquired,
determining a timing of a time when the second value elapses from the current acquisition timing as a second acquisition timing candidate; and
comparing the first acquisition timing candidate and the second acquisition timing candidate to determine an acquisition timing candidate earlier in time as the next acquisition timing.
