Abstract:
1. A method including: receiving content over a network at a receiving device, the content having an associated normal speed for playback and including a plurality of content segments, the plurality of content segments including a first content segment and a second content segment, the first content segment being included in a single media stream and including metadata; rendering the first content segment to an output device at an accelerated speed different from the normal speed of the received content that includes the first content segment; interrupting the rendering of the received content at the accelerated speed in response to a request to play the first content segment from a beginning of the first content segment at the normal speed; automatically positioning to the beginning of the first content segment based on position information that is included in the metadata of the first content segment; rendering the first content segment to the output device from the beginning of the first content segment at the normal speed, at least a portion of the first content segment being rendered at the normal speed after being rendered at the accelerated speed; and resuming the rendering of the received content at the accelerated speed by rendering the second content segment to the output device at the accelerated speed responsive to completion of the rendering of the first content segment at the normal speed.
