Abstract
A media player generates a first manifest file for a digital media item as the digital media item is downloaded and/or processed. The first manifest file is used to seek to locations within a buffered portion of the digital media item. When a seek request to a location in an unbuffered portion is received, the media player downloads a second manifest file from a server. The second manifest file is used to seek for subsequent seek requests.
