Abstract:
A technique for managing transitions between streaming media sources can include receiving a request from a client to change a streaming media source from an initial streaming media source to a next streaming media source, identifying the next streaming media source in a master playlist of a content delivery network, inserting a discontinuity between last segments of the initial streaming media source and first segments of the next streaming media source, and streaming the first segments of the next streaming media source to the client as a continuous stream from the last segments of the initial streaming media source with the discontinuity between the last segments and the first segments.

Claim (Index 15):
A system, including:\n a client including a processor and instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the instructions when executed perform a method including:\n receiving a virtual master playlist from a media proxy, wherein the media proxy is an intermediary between the client and a content delivery network; \n requesting to change to a next adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR) source from an initial ABR source, wherein the initial ABR source includes last segments being streamed to the client, and wherein the next ABR source is selected by the client from the virtual master playlist; \n clearing at least a portion of a buffer associated with the client, wherein the buffer receives the last segments; and \n buffering first segments of the next ABR source as a continuous stream from the last segments of the initial ABR source with a discontinuity between the last segments and the first segments, \n wherein the media proxy is defined by instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium run by a system remote to the client, and \n wherein the content delivery network is operatively coupled with storage maintaining the last segments and the first segments.
