Abstract

An algorithm to analyze previous attempts by the a user of a media player and either presents the media player with all data, a subset of data or even a hint, enabling the boot of the heuristics engine with the ability to custom-target initial startup methods of the media engine.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 
     
         1 . A computer executable program having instructions to implement a method to smooth video playback of a media file, the method comprising:
 selecting a media player;   selecting a media file for smoothing;   selecting at least one heuristics engine compatible with the media player;   selecting a buffering engine compatible with the media file;   buffering the media file; and   creating a new heuristics engine to optimize playback of the buffered media file on the selected media player.
