Systems and methods for hosting, streaming, and controlling video movie playback, that for the video playback uses a local or cloud based voting platform is disclosed. The systems and methods provide reduced system latency, and are fully scalable from a single user to multi-viewer modes, with the latter mode allowing for thousands of users viewing the video playback, and controlling the content display through a collective voting platform. In a preferred embodiment, the disclosed system includes three primary elements: a content control (cloud-based) engine, a data decision manager-server, and a local client platform. The content control engine controls the movie content to be streamed to the users. The data decision server manages the user input and voting that is transmitted to the content control engine. The local client platform provides the local interface with the user to elicit user selections and user votes.

The playback device retrieves the playback instructions and, in accordance with the playback instructions, retrieves and plays audio/video segments, generates interface elements for receiving from a user decision commands while playing the audio/video segments, and retrieves and plays further audio/video segments depending on the user decision commands. The playback device further retrieves one of the separate audio tracks and plays the separate audio track uninterruptedly while playing an end of a first audio/video segment and a start of a second audio/video segment which is played subsequently to the first audio/video segment. Thus, an audio track is played uninterruptedly across the boundary of two consecutive audio/video segments.
