ABSTRACT:
A method and a system for a user (e.g. a parent) to restrict a time (e.g. a time of day and/or an accumulated viewing during a specified time frame), and to restrict the videos and/or versions of videos that may be viewed by a viewer (e.g. a child) and/or a plurality of individually restricted viewers. The videos and/or versions of videos being restricted with respect to, for example, at least one content category (e.g. a rating code), a level in at least one content category, and/or a level of explicitness in each of a plurality of content categories. In an embodiment, random access and buffering means are utilized to retrieve segments of a video, to buffer at least a portion of a segment of a video, and to seamlessly skip a retrieval of at least one segment of the video, thereby playing, from within the video a seamless version of the video less in length than the length of the video.
