Abstract: Techniques for selectively permitting a device to boot an operating system. Before any operating system is loaded on the device, a BIOS component analyzes a set of files residing on the device to create state data that describes a current state of the set of files. This enables the state data to identify whether any files have been unexpectedly modified or are outdated. The BIOS component attempts to send the state data to a server over a network. The BIOS component then determines whether to permit the device to boot the operating system based on whether the network was detected and on the contents of any response, sent by the server, responsive to the state data.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms described herein facilitate the management of encoders for live media content streams. A media content system may employ potentially many encoders to encode potentially many live media content streams. When supporting many live media content streams, there may be some channels that are not being viewed by anyone at a particular time. In some such situations, an encoder encoding a live media content stream that is not being viewed may be disabled. Then, live media content associated with the live media content stream may be stored in a buffer and updated as new live media content is received. When a user transmits a request to view a channel for which the encoder has been disabled, an encoder for the requested channel may be enabled. The buffered data may be used to quickly initialize the encoder.
