In one embodiment, a method includes receiving content in a first format at a first interface at an adaptive bit rate client, playing the content received at the first interface at the adaptive bit rate client, monitoring network conditions at the first interface, receiving the content in a second format at a second interface at the adaptive bit rate client, and upon identifying a change in the network conditions at the first interface, switching from playing the content received on the first interface to playing the content received at the second interface at the adaptive bit rate client. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
