Abstract
A variety of media devices may stream and present content such as movies, music, audiobooks, and so forth. During streaming, data transfer rates may temporarily drop below that needed to maintain presentation. Described herein are techniques and systems for repeating presentation of previously received video frames. This repeated presentation allows for presentation of the content to continue uninterrupted, while providing time for the data transfer rate to regain a level capable of maintaining the presentation.
