    Abstract: A client may, for example, initiate presentation of the content item in a hybrid stream mode in which both a client stream and a content provider stream are combined to form a resulting hybrid stream for presentation. The client may then, at some point during presentation of the content item, detect that the content provider stream has become unavailable. In response to such a determination, the client may continue to present the content item in a client stream mode, in which the client stream is used for presentation of the content item without use of the content provider stream.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods to facilitate and enhance compatibility between a source device, such as a set-top box, and a sink device, such as a television or audio system. The source device is configured to recognize extended display identification data (“EDID”) associated with sink devices which have been determined to provide incorrect EDID data. A replacement EDID is used by the source to provide operability. Likewise, commands from the source which are incompatible with, or produce undesired results in the sink may be removed or replaced with replacement commands.

    Abstract translation: 这里描述了促进和增强源设备(诸如机顶盒)和诸如电视或音频系统的宿设备之间的兼容性的系统和方法。 源设备被配置为识别与被确定提供不正确的EDID数据的宿设备相关联的扩展显示标识数据(“EDID”)。 源使用替代EDID来提供可操作性。 同样,来自源的命令与源不兼容或在接收器中产生不期望的结果可能会被替换为替换命令。
