Systems and methods for media source changes using early-decodable frames

Abstract

Methods and systems are described for generation of a smooth, engaging transition from one media source to another or from one portion of a media source to another portion of the media source. In response to a request to change display of content from a first source to a second source, a first decodable frame of the second source is determined before completion of decoding a first segment of the second source. During the decoding of the second source, a transition based at least in part on the first decodable frame of the second source is generated for display. In response to completion of the decoding of the first segment of the second source, the second source is displayed without the transition. Artificial intelligence systems, including neural networks, and models are utilized to improve the transition. Related apparatuses, devices, techniques, and articles are also described.
