Abstract
A system for providing video playback includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a desired video playback request and receive a video content source switching request from a first video content source to a second video content source. The processor is configured to generate a not-all-I-frame first stream for the first video content source, generate an all-I-frame second stream and a not-all-I-frame second stream for the second video content source, switch from the not-all-I-frame first stream for the first video content source to the all-I-frame second stream for the second video content source, and switch from the all-I-frame second stream for the second video content source to the not-all-I-frame second stream for the second video content source on a next I-frame occurrence in the not-all-I-frame second stream for the second video content source.
