ABSTRACT:
In an embodiment, a request is received from a client that includes a content identifier that identifies content. Content servers are determined that store the content, which is divided into frames. Time reference points and a time period are determined. The time period separates each of the time reference points. Logical groups of the frames are sent from the content servers to the client at the time reference points. The client receives the frames, reorders the frames into a play order, and displays the frames in the play order.
