  • Seamlessly playing a composite media presentation
    Patent number: 9344472
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for seamlessly playing a composite media presentation, includes receiving, by a sequencer, a sequential playlist provided by a scheduler. The sequential playlist refers to a sequence of one or more streaming media content items. The sequencer receives calls from a native player application at regular intervals, and sends playback segments and seekbar update information to the native player application based on the sequential playlist in response to the calls. The native player application is configured to play the composite media presentation using at least one core player and generate a corresponding seekbar for the presentation based on the playback segments and the seekbar update information sent by the sequencer.
