Abstract:
A controller output device monitors a media stream buffer on each of multiple receiver output devices. The controller output device determines, at a given instance of time, a buffer data size value of the media stream buffer on each of the receiver output devices. Additionally, the controller output device determines a playback state and a buffer state of one or more of the receiver output devices at the given instance of time, based on the buffer data size values of the media stream buffer of each of the one or more receiver output devices.
