Claims11
A management method comprising:
- managing playback of multimedia content using a playback device equipped with a processor and capable of rendering the content, wherein the playback device comprises a plurality of selectable players capable of playing back the same content, the selectable players including respective subsets of commands, and wherein the managing comprises:
- selecting a player from among the selectable players;
- playing the content with the selected player;
- and
- during the playing of the content, varying the selected player over the time for the same content as a function of processor load in order to offer a given subset of the respective subsets of commands.
A management device for managing playback of multimedia content using a playback device capable of rendering the content, wherein the playback device comprises a plurality of selectable players capable of playing back the same content, the selectable players including respective subsets of commands, and wherein the management device comprises:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by the processor configure the management device to manage the playback by:
- selecting a player from among the selectable players;
- playing the content with the selected player;
- and
- during the playing of the content, varying the selected player over the time for the same content as a function of processor load in order to offer a given subset of the respective subsets of commands.
A non-transitory computer readable data medium, on which at least one series of program code instructions is stored for executing a method for managing playback of multimedia content when the instructions are executed by processor of a playback device capable of rendering the content, wherein the playback device comprises a plurality of selectable players capable of playing back the same content, the selectable players including respective subsets of commands, and wherein the managing comprises:
- selecting a player from among the selectable players;
- playing the content with the selected player;
- and
- during the playing of the content, varying the selected player over the time for the same content in order to offer a given subset of the respective subsets of commands.
