1. A method for processing an error in the course of rendering of a digital content during a multimedia session on a terminal, said session offering a plurality of representations of said digital content described in a descriptive information medium for the multimedia session transmitted independently of representation data of the plurality of representations, wherein the method is implemented by the terminal and comprises the following acts performed after obtaining the descriptive medium:
for at least one representation indicated in the descriptive information medium, obtaining from the descriptive information medium at least one item of information regarding guarantee of availability of the data of the representation on a server,
comparing the information regarding guarantee of availability of the data of the representation on the server with at least one predetermined value,
selecting a fallback representation according to a result of the comparison, and
on detection of a rendering error, transmitting a request for at least one segment of the selected fallback representation.
