Abstract

Devices, systems, and processes for reducing interruptions due to a presentation timestamp restart (PTSrs) are provided. A process includes receiving content data packets identifiable by a timestamp. The timestamps vary between a PTSmin and a PTSmax. When PTSmax is reached, a next data packet is restarted at substantially equal to PTSmin. The process includes first determining whether one of the timestamps have restarted and, if so, generating a loop over index file associating a first timestamp with a first index value (A), a second timestamp with a second index value (B), a third timestamp with a third index value (C), and a fourth timestamp with a fourth index value (D). PTSrs may be detected when the second timestamp is greater than the fourth timestamp or when the first timestamp is greater than the third timestamp. When a restart occurs, adjustments to content playback sequence are made using the index values.
