    Publication number: 20240020086
    Abstract: A method of navigating a media stream includes streaming a media stream to a user device, wherein the media stream comprises a plurality of media segments, and each media segment of the plurality of media segments corresponds to a non-overlapping portion of the media stream. Additionally, the method includes receiving, from the user device, a request to navigate from a current position in the media stream to a requested position in the media stream. Further, the method includes locating a media segment of the plurality of media segments, wherein the media segment corresponds to the requested position in the media stream. Moreover, the method includes determining an optimal position within the media segment based on one or more waveform criteria. Finally, the method includes streaming the media stream to the user device from the optimal position in the media segment.
