Error detection and notification system for media content streaming
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11881979B2) outlines a method and system for managing errors in a network during media content streaming. The method involves using a media player to stream media content, detecting errors in the network that affect the streaming process, and sending notifications to user devices, service provider devices, or content provider devices. These notifications include information about the network error and details about the media content stream, such as timestamps indicating when the error occurred in the stream.
The system described in the patent includes a media player with processors and computer software to carry out the streaming process, error detection, and notification sending. Additionally, identified user devices are equipped with processors and software to receive the media content stream based on the information provided by the media player. This system allows for the seamless identification and continuation of media content streaming from a specific point in time when an error in the network was detected, ensuring a smooth viewing experience for users.
