Abstract: A method for playing back streaming content according to an embodiment may include a step in which a streaming player client sets an initial bitrate for a player module playing back streaming content; a step in which the streaming player client delivers, from the player module to a streaming server, a manifest file request for the streaming content; a step in which a local proxy server edits the manifest file delivered from the streaming server, the manifest file being edited on the basis of the set initial bitrate; and a step in which the local proxy server delivers the edited manifest file to the player module through the streaming player client.

Abstract: A content playing method includes obtaining a first media playlist for video on demand (VOD)-type first content via a server in accordance with a request from a player; changing the obtained first media playlist from VOD-type to live-type; providing the changed first media playlist to the player; obtaining a second media playlist for second content via the server, before the completion of the playing of the first content using the changed first media playlist in the player; and generating a third media playlist by connecting the changed first media playlist and the second media playlist.
