Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for adjusting capacity in a networking environment. A networking system comprising clients, servers, load balancers, and/or other devices may expand and contract network capacity as needed. When expanding network capacity, load balancers may instruct client devices to connect to servers that are part of the expanded network. When network capacity is reduced, a server and/or a load balancer my instruct client devices to close a connection with a first server and establish a connection with a second server. Client devices may seamlessly begin using the connection with a second server without having to wait for a connection timeout with the first server.

Abstract: Methods and systems for using text data in content presentation and content search are disclosed. Text data and a plurality of video frames can be extracted from a content program and stored in a database. Extracted text data can be divided into a plurality of text segments. The plurality of text segments and the plurality of video frames can be presented in the form of an electronic book or guide. In addition, the content program can be divided into a plurality of content segments and stored in the database. The plurality of content segments and the plurality of text segments can be associated by time indices. A user can identify one or more content segments in the database by a query, and notifications can be sent according to the query.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to monitoring and using telemetry information in various ways. For example, a system that monitors telemetry information may include a user that gathers telemetry information of a device and transmits the information to a monitored room. A manager may join a monitored room and monitor the monitored room for particular types of telemetry information. In one example, a manager may determine whether a downstream device is experiencing a network problem, such as a low bitrate. A manager may also transmit commands to the player via the monitored room, which causes the downstream device to operate in accordance with the transmitted command. In one example, a manager may transmit a command that causes a player to decode a particular service.

Abstract: Images may be periodically captured from each of a plurality of content streams comprising programs. Each of the content streams may be associated with capture parameters. The capture parameters may include information on how frequently images from the stream may be captured. The captured images may be made available to various clients for various uses, such as for display of a schedule of available programs.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to monitoring and using telemetry information in various ways. For example, methods that monitor and use telemetry information may include receiving telemetry information relating to advertisements, whether the advertisement reporting is active, and/or whether thresholds associated with the output of advertisements have been satisfied. In some examples, telemetry information may be received via an application. In some examples, advertisments may be selected or generated for display based on analysis of the telemetry infomration. In some examples, commands may be transmitted to a device to initiate advertisement related reporting.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for coordinating segmentation of multiple encoded content streams of a content item. Each content stream may be encoded at one of several bitrates. Methods are disclosed for synchronizing segmentation of content streams of a content item among multiple content segmenters. The methods may allow seamless recovery of segmentation synchronization in the event of lost or misaligned encoder boundary points.
