Abstract: Encoder, decoder and methods for intra coding of video. The method in the decoder relates to decoding of an intra coded block IZ having a number N of neighboring blocks CU1-CUN. When at least one block CUk of the number of neighboring blocks is unavailable for intra prediction, pixel values for spatial positions covered by CUk are estimated based on at least one pixel value of at least one of blocks CUk?m and CUk+p within the range [CU1-CUk?1, CUk+1-CUN] of blocks, which is available for intra prediction. Further, the block IZ is decoded, using the estimated pixel values for prediction, thus generating a block Z of pixels. k, m and p are integers, and 1?k?N; 1?m?k; and 1?p?N?k; and N is a positive integer.

The method comprises maintaining a record of items consumed by the user device or a group of devices within a reference period, together with the time of consumption of each item, and a content descriptor associated with each item. Temporal consumption periods are identified within the reference period, each consumption period spanning the consumption of one or more items with similar content descriptors, and each consumption period is associated with its respective content descriptor. An aggregated list is created of consumption periods recorded over a plurality of reference periods. Clusters of similar consumption periods are identified in the aggregated list, and recurring temporal patterns for user device behaviour are identified in each cluster.
