A method and apparatus for improving the adaptive bit rate behavior of a streaming media player comprises receiving a media stream from a first media content provider; assessing whether the streaming media player can benefit from the use of a media stream having a higher bit rate than the stream currently being received; selecting a higher bit rate stream from a second media content provider when the player can benefit from the use of a higher bit rate stream; requesting the higher bit rate stream from the second media content provider; receiving the higher bit rate stream; and rendering the media content using the higher bit rate stream.
