Cognitively derived multimedia streaming preferences

A computer program product for streaming multimedia data, the computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions including instructions to:

• generate a recommendation to skip viewing of a logical segment in a plurality of logical segments included in a multimedia data file based, at least in part, on analyzing user insight information corresponding to a classification associated with the logical segment;
• determine that a first confidence score associated with the first recommendation to skip viewing of the first logical segment in the plurality of logical segments included in the first multimedia data file is above a predetermined threshold level;
• determine that at least one of a battery level of the computing device and an amount of available data in a network data plan associated with the computing device is below a predetermined threshold level;
• and
• responsive to determining that (i) the confidence score associated with the recommendation to skip viewing of the logical segment in the plurality of logical segments is above the predetermined threshold level and (ii) at least one of the battery level of the computing device and the amount of available data in the network data plan associated with the computing device is below the predetermined threshold level:
• modify a streaming sequence of the plurality of logical segments included in the multimedia data file streamed to the computing device.
