1. A computer-implemented method performed by a new master media server, comprising:

  • replicating a start time of a request related to a bidirectional stream of media sent to an original master media server, wherein the original master media server performs playback of the request at the start time;

    receiving notification of selection as the new master media server after failure of the original master media server;

    remaining idle until both of the failure of the original master media server and the selection as the new master media server;

    determining an offset time by subtracting the replicated request start time from a current time; and

    resuming playback of the request at the offset time within the request.
