Abstract
System, method, and computer program product to resume playback between different media formats of a media title, by monitoring progress of a user consuming the media title in a first media format, differences existing between the first media format and the different media formats, responsive to the user stopping consumption of the media title in the first media format, computing a stopping point in the first media format, identifying at least one resume point for each of the different media formats, computing a similarity score for each identified resume point based on a similarity of the stopping point in the first media format and each identified resume point, and upon determining that the user has triggered an indication to consume the media title in a second media format, resuming playback of the media title at a resume point for the second media format having the highest similarity score.
