# Recover from Content Playback Failure

Provide a recovery queue that allows the client to resume playback after an error.

## Discussion

If the playback of a queue fails to start, or there’s an error during playback that the client can recover from, the client reports the failure by sending a request to this endpoint. Configure your service to respond with a recovery queue that the client can use to restart playback.

Examples of recoverable playback failures include:

- The client is unable to load the media using the provided URL.
- The client is unable to acquire a content key for a protected asset.
- The number of items in the queue segment exceeds the configured maximum.
