Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for determining and applying a timeout for streaming video. Processing circuitry of a device may request video fragments to be downloaded and played, and if a requested fragment is not downloaded entirely before expiration of a timeout, the device may adjust the timeout to allow the download to complete. A timeout may be set based on available bandwidth and a size of a fragment requested for download, and the timeout may be extended based on network and/or device conditions.
