Abstract
System and methods for media distribution are described. In one embodiment, a method of media distribution includes rendering of a media to a user, stopping the rendering of the media, and storing remaining media not rendered to the user in a user server. The method further includes receiving a request to stream the remaining media to the user, dividing the remaining media into segments, and assigning a priority to each segment. The remaining media is streamed, leaving out segments with priority lower than a threshold priority.
