Abstract: ABSTRACT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SWITCHING TO ALTERNATE OTT APPLICATION DURING CDN CONGESTION A method for switching to an alternate over-the-top (OTT) application when congestion occurs in a content delivery network (CDN) during media content streaming is disclosed. The method includes detecting interruptions, associated with congestion in the CDN, in the playback of media content on a primary OTT application. Next, the method includes retrieving metadata associated with the media content on the primary OTT application, including at least title and playback position. Then, the method includes identifying an alternate OTT application capable of providing access to the same media content based on the retrieved metadata and prioritizing alternate OTT applications based on user preferences and subscription status. Thereafter, the method includes transitioning playback to the identified alternate OTT application from the point where the interruption occurred, thereby allowing seamless continuation of the media content.
