Abstract
A computer system generates, using a first codec, a first decompressed media stream based on a first compressed media stream. The computer system provides the first decompressed media stream to a presentation device. While providing the first decompressed media stream to the presentation device, the computer system receives a second compressed media stream corresponding to a second decompressed media stream to be presented by the presentation device and initializes a second codec after the first codec has stopped decompressing the first compressed media stream so that no more than one codec is decompressing compressed media at a time. The computer system generates, using the initialized second codec, the second decompressed media stream and provides the second decompressed media stream to the presentation device instead of providing the first decompressed media stream to the presentation device.
