Abstract
A streaming end-user media device includes memory storing a program of instructions, and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to execute the program of instructions to access media automation services provided by media-provider back-end systems via a cloud-based sequencer, and detect unavailability of the cloud-based sequencer. In response to detecting the unavailability of the cloud-based sequencer, disconnect the streaming end-user media device from the cloud-based sequencer, and initiate a separate connection to the media-provider back-end systems using a link that bypasses the cloud-based sequencer.
