TUNE MEDIA PLAYER FOR BROADCAST AND BROADBAND SERVICES

Abstract: an electronic device and a method for tuning of media player to broadcast and broadband services. the electronic device receives media content for playback. the electronic device determines that the media content includes ota media content and ott media content. the electronic device compares a first bit rate of the ota media content with a second bit rate of the ott media content. the electronic device sets a reported bit rate of the media player to a first predetermined value, based on the comparison. the ott media content is played-back, based on the first predetermined value. it is monitored that the electronic device is tuned for ota playback and the reported bit rate of the media player is set to a second predetermined value based on the monitoring. the ota media content is played-back, based on the second predetermined value.
