Abstract
Various embodiments of apparatus, systems and/or methods are described for independently controlling an audio stream relative to a video stream in audio trick mode. In one example, an audio stream and a video stream is received, where the audio stream comprises frames that correspond to corresponding frames of the video stream. The audio and video streams are played from a first time to a second time at a first speed. An input to time shift the audio stream independent of the video stream is received, and after receiving such, the audio stream is time shifted to the first time. Then, the audio stream may be re-played from the first time to the second time at a second speed different from the first speed.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- receiving, over a network, both an audio stream and a video stream;
- playing the audio stream and the video stream from a first time to a second time;
- receiving input to time shift the audio stream to the first time;
- after receiving the input to time shift the audio stream, time shifting the audio stream independent of the video stream to the first time;
- and
- re-playing the audio stream from the first time to the second time,
- wherein the time shifting the audio stream independent of the video stream to the first time comprises pausing the video stream at the second time from when the audio stream is time shifted to the first time until the audio stream is re-played to the second time.
A system comprising:
- a memory configured to store data streams;
- and
- a processor configured for:
- receiving an audio stream, a closed caption stream, and a video stream;
- playing the audio stream and the video stream concurrently from a first time to a second time at a first speed;
- receiving input to time shift the audio stream and the closed caption stream to the first time;
- time shifting the audio stream and closed caption stream to the first time;
- and
- playing the audio stream and the closed caption stream from the first time to the second time at a second speed,
- wherein the time shifting the audio stream and the closed caption stream to the first time comprises pausing the video stream at the second time from when the audio stream and the closed caption stream are time shifted to the first time until the audio stream and the closed caption stream are re-played to the second time.
A method comprising:
- receiving at least two data streams including at least audio data and video data;
- playing the at least two data streams from a first time to a second time at a first speed;
- receiving input to time shift the audio data to the first time;
- after receiving the input to time shift the audio data, time shifting the audio data to the first time;
- and
- re-playing the audio data from the first time to the second time at a second speed different from the first speed,
- wherein the time shifting the audio data to the first time comprises pausing the video data at the second time from when the audio data is time shifted to the first time until the audio data is re-played to the second time.
