Abstract
Methods and systems for improved failover techniques are described herein. A failure associated with a content source may lead to a computing device becoming unable to output all or part of content that was requested from the content source prior to the failure. The computing device may have received a portion of a manifest associated with the content prior to the failure. The failover techniques described herein may enable the computing device to continue receiving portions of the content despite the failure. For example, an additional portion of the manifest may be modified such that the computing device may request additional portions of the content from another content source without requiring a retuning procedure.
