Interruption of streaming video playback caused by insufficient data transfer rate to maintain continuous viewing is a common frustration for users of digital entertainment platforms. This manifests as pauses in the video, a loading circle, or a temporary reduction in video quality as the system attempts to catch up with the playback. The viewing experience is disrupted, diminishing the enjoyment of the content.
Consistent access to reliable streaming services is increasingly essential for accessing entertainment and information. The ability to stream content seamlessly enhances user satisfaction, maintains engagement, and supports the intended artistic and narrative impact of the delivered media. Historically, resolving these interruptions has been a key driver in advancements in network infrastructure, content delivery networks (CDNs), and video compression technologies.
