Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for inserting messages in streaming media from a server to a client utilizing double buffers. A system streams a message to the client at an insertion point in the media. The message can be an advertisement specific to a client and can be based on client preferences, client behavior and physical location of the client. The system streams a set of compressed media segments from a compressed buffer storing a compressed version of media to the client based on a first pointer. The system streams a set of uncompressed media segments from an uncompressed buffer storing uncompressed media to the client based on a second pointer. The compressed media plays back at the client at an increased speed in relation to uncompressed media to compensate for time spent streaming the message to the client.
A method of inserting messages in streaming media to a client from a server, the method comprising:
