VIDEO PLAYBACK DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND VIDEO PLAYBACK METHOD

摘要

In order to playback a video stream, a video playback device (12) is provided with a playback unit (40) that decodes and displays pictures contained in chunks of the video stream, and a control unit (30) that indicates the beginning of playback processing. When switching a playback object to a second video stream corresponding to a second bit rate during playback processing of a first video stream corresponding to a first bit rate, the playback unit (40) continues playback processing chunks of the first video stream during playback processing. If pictures contained in chunks of the second video stream and pictures contained in the abovementioned chunks undergoing playback processing are duplicated, the control unit (30) instructs the playback unit (40) not to display the pictures that are duplicated in the playback processing of the chunks of the second video stream.
