Abstract
The invention relates to a method for processing a sequence of data packets in a receiver apparatus, in particular a sequence of audio and/or video data packets, as well as to a receiver apparatus. The method comprises the following steps: reception of a data packet in the sequence of data packets in the receiver apparatus via a data link; determination of identification information for the data packet, which information indicates the position of the data packet in the sequence of data packets; sorting of the data packet into a sequence of data packets to be processed in a queue corresponding to the identification information, with the data packets to be processed comprising the sequence of data packets; determination of a time value from a time marking of a first data packet to be processed in the queue and of a further time value from a time marking of a last data packet to be processed in the queue; determination of the time difference between the time value and the further time value; and transfer of at least the first data packet to be processed in the queue for processing to a processing device if the time difference is greater than or equal to a predetermined time threshold value.
