Abstract
When streaming content such as movies, music, or audiobooks for presentation, changes in conditions or unavailable frames may result in stutters or other negative experiences during presentation. Described herein are techniques and systems for extrapolating one or more frames based on previously received data. When an unavailable frame is determined, an interpolated frame is generated for presentation in place of the unavailable frame. The interpolated frame may be generated based on other frames that were received out of sequence, such as frames for presentation subsequent to the unavailable frame, as well as frames for presentation prior to the unavailable frame.
