Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for early termination of content. An information processing apparatus including circuitry is provided. A manifest file for a content stream is received from a first server and primary content is received from the first server based on the manifest file. Manifest file update information is received from the first server. The manifest file update information indicates early termination of secondary content of the content stream during a period is permitted. A request for the secondary content associated with the period is sent to a second server based on the manifest file update information. The secondary content is received from the second server. Further, the secondary content is output for display during the period based on whether the secondary content is terminated early.
