Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for utilizing a single storage buffer for a dynamic number of players, each using a dynamically sized virtual buffer. For example, a system includes a buffer management controller that receives a request to initiate at least one player instance for displaying a content item. The buffer management controller creates a virtual buffer having a maximum capacity for the player instance. Finally, the buffer management controller identifies one or more available regions of the single storage buffer and maps the virtual buffer to the one or more available regions in response to determining that address space in the one or more available regions matches or exceeds the maximum capacity of the virtual buffer.
