DISPLAY MODE BASED MEDIA PLAYER SWITCHING
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for switching between media players on a user device, comprising:
- presenting a media item to a user of the user device via a first media player, the first media player configured to receive the media item in a first data stream, the media item being associated with a first format and including a first audio component; and
responsive to a change in a display mode associated with the first media player,identifying a second media player that is configured to receive a corresponding media item in a second data stream, the corresponding media item being associated with a second format and including a second audio component that matches the first audio component,determining a particular location in the media item to cease presentation of the media item via the first media player and a corresponding location in the corresponding media item to begin presentation of the corresponding media item using the second media player, andresponsive to reaching the particular location in the media item, concurrently, ceasing presentation of the media item via the first media player and beginning presentation of the corresponding media item at the corresponding location using the second media player.

Abstract
A media item is presented via a media player, the media player configured to receive the media item, the media item being associated with a format and including an audio component. Responsive to a change in a display mode associated with the media player, a second media player is identified that is configured to receive a corresponding media item, the corresponding media item being associated with a second format and including a second audio component that matches the audio component. A particular location is determined in the media item to cease presentation of the media item via the media player and a corresponding location in the corresponding media item to begin presentation of the corresponding media item using the second media player. Responsive to reaching the particular location, concurrently, presentation of the media item is ceased and presentation of the corresponding media item at the corresponding location is begun.
