When the video proxy server receives a seek playback request while executing a video reading and caching operation of receiving video data from a content server, caching the video data, and streaming the cached video data to a terminal, the video proxy server starts receiving video data after the seek position from the content server, caching the video data after the seek position, and streaming the video data after the seek position to the terminal while continuing to receive and cache the video data so as to prevent any loss of the video data as the video data after the seek position is concurrently received, cached and streamed to the terminal.
