Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for delivering and displaying reconfigured media inputs with uniform and standardized user interfaces and functionality across different video players. One embodiment is directed to a method of interfacing with a plurality of video players comprising receiving a first media input associated with a first video player from a first content delivery network of a plurality of content delivery networks. The method further comprises receiving a reconfigured media input from a reconfigured media provider computer and loading the first video player on the user computer. A master platform may then generate a request for a time indicator, translate the request for the time indicator using first translation instructions associated with the first video player, send the translated request for the time indicator to the first video player, receive the time indicator, and perform one or more actions based on the received time indicator.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed at methods and systems for facilitating social interactions between viewers watching media inputs and interacting with each other before, during, and after the viewing process. One embodiment is directed to delivering chat messages to a user computer. The method comprises receiving a request including a user identifier from the user computer and determining a first user account associated with the user identifier. The method further comprises calculating an importance score for a plurality of chat messages. The importance score may be calculated for the first user account differently than for a second user account. The method further comprises selecting a first set of chat messages. The first set of chat messages may have a specified number of chat messages with importance scores that are highest amongst the chat messages. The method also comprises sending a response including the first set of chat messages to the user computer.
