Abstract

When a content playback apparatus has detected a content data acquisition error in a process of acquiring title screen content serving as next content that is to be reproduced after top screen content, the content playback apparatus reproduces sub-content contained as error-handling information in the top screen content, and then displays an error screen. The error screen is contained as sub-content in the top screen content, and therefore can be changed flexibly. This makes it possible to provide a content playback apparatus capable of performing error handling flexibly in accordance with the content being reproduced.
