Automatic generation of video content in response to network interruption

A receiving device for presenting media data, the receiving device comprising:

• a memory configured to store media data;
• and
• a processing system comprising one or more processors implemented in circuitry, the processing system being configured to:
• receive, from a source device, via a network, a first set of media data of a media bitstream;
• receive, from the source device, via the network, data indicating that a second set of media data of the media bitstream following the first set of media data will not be received within a period of time and that the receiving device should enter a mode of operation in which the receiving device predictively generates replacement media data;
• in response to the data indicating that the second set of media data of the media bitstream following the first set of media data will not be received within the period of time and that the receiving device should enter the mode of operation in which the receiving device predictively generates the replacement media data, predictively generate the replacement media data for the second set of media data using at least a subset of the first set of media data;
• and
• present the first set of media data and the replacement media data.
