System and method to request a portion of a media content item
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- concurrently receiving, at a first communication interface of a media device, a first media content stream and a second media content stream;
sending, from the media device to an output device, decoded first media content processed from the first media content stream;
storing, in a buffer, decoded second media content processed from first portions of the second media content stream, wherein the first portions of the second media content stream contain no detected errors;
detecting a second portion of the second media content stream during receipt of the first media content stream and the second media content stream, wherein the second portion of the second media content stream contains a first detected error; and
sending, from a second communication interface of the media device to a media content source, a request for first particular content, the first particular content corresponding to the second portion of the second media content stream and the second communication interface is distinct from the first communication interface.

Abstract
A method includes concurrently receiving, at a first communication interface of a media device, a first media content stream and a second media content stream. The method includes sending, from the media device to an output device, decoded first media content processed from the first media content stream. The method includes storing decoded second media content processed from the second media content stream in a buffer. The method includes detecting an error associated with a portion of the second media content stream during receipt of the first media content stream and the second media content stream. The method also includes sending, from a second communication interface of the media device to a media content source, a request for the portion. The second communication interface is distinct from the first communication interface.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
a first communication interface to concurrently receive a first media content stream and a second media content stream; an error detector to detect an error in a portion of the second media content stream while first media content processed from the first media content stream is sent to an output device; and a second communication interface to send a request for first particular content to a media content source responsive to detection of the error by the error detector, the first particular content corresponding to the portion of the second media content stream and the second communication interface is distinct from the first communication interface. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable hardware storage device storing instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
concurrently receiving, via a first communication interface, a first media content stream and a second media content stream; causing an output interface to send decoded first media content processed from the first media content stream to an output device; storing, in a buffer, decoded second media content processed from first portions of the second media content stream, wherein the first portions of the second media content stream contain no detected errors; detecting a second portion of the second media content stream during receipt of the first media content stream and the second media content stream, wherein the second portion of the second media content stream contains a first detected error; and causing a second communication interface to send a request for first particular content, the first particular content corresponding to the second portion of the second media content stream and the second communication interface is distinct from the first communication interface. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
