Abstract: Techniques are described for transparent switching between live-edge and non-live-edge playback responsive to user navigation. For example, live content is available to a user both via a live stream from a remote live edge server, and via a recorded-live stream from a remote recording server. During playback of a live content stream, a player system uses a warm-up player to continually receive, pre-decode, and pre-buffer the live stream at the live edge to maintain a pre-buffered warm-up stream; and the player system uses a primary player to decode and generate a playback stream for playback. As the user navigates playback between live-edge and non-live-edge locations, the player system can seamlessly switch between generating the playback stream based on the recorded-live stream for non-live-edge playback, or based on the pre-buffered warm-up stream for live-edge playback.
