Abstract
In one aspect, a first client device receives, from a second client device, a request to stream a media item from a first position within the media item. The first client device obtains, from a server, a seektable that identifies a plurality of segments into which content corresponding to the media item is divided, wherein each segment of the plurality of segments corresponds to multiple samples of the media item. The first client device consults the seektable to determine a segment of the media item to retrieve in response to the request, the segment including content at the first position. After consulting the seektable, the device retrieves, from the server, the segment of the media item. The first client device plays the content corresponding to the first position using the retrieved segment.
