Abstract
A method for managing the access, by a player/reader device, to a multimedia content accessible from a source, called main source, from which broadcast of the content has begun. A change of the play/read time, during the playing/reading, is able to trigger a playing/reading from a first source selected by default and offering a first rendering quality. The method includes: receiving a request for access to the content being broadcast; obtaining a set of data sources, called secondary sources, from which the content is accessible; receiving, during the playing/reading, a command for moving the play/read time; and selecting a source depending on the first rendering quality and on the second rendering quality.
