  • Patent number: 11477396
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a reproducing device, a reproducing method, and a program that enable a wide angle of view video and a planar video that is a part of the wide angle of view video to be switched and viewed without a sense of incongruity. A video controller determines whether or not a line quality is capable of bearing a display of the wide angle of view video on the basis of the line quality including a line speed of the wide angle of view video supplied from a server or a remaining amount of buffer data of the wide angle of view video and the partial video. In a case where the line quality is not capable of bearing the display of the wide angle of view video, at a timing immediately before switching the display between the wide angle of view video and the partial video, after the wide angle of view video together with a white frame indicating the angle of view of the partial video corresponding to the wide angle of view video is displayed, and the display is switched to the partial video.
