Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method and a media device for pre-buffering media content streamed to the media device from a server system. The media device is connected to a network and has a rechargeable battery. The media device determines, by means of a bandwidth logic, an available network bandwidth and, by means of a charging logic, a charging level of the rechargeable battery. Based on these determinations, i.e. based on the determined available network bandwidth and the determined charging level of the rechargeable battery the media device selects a pre-buffering policy, by means of a pre-buffering logic, and pre-buffers media content, by means of the pre-buffering logic, from the server system in accordance with the selected pre-buffering policy.
