Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for controlling playback and/or recording of media assets at a media device based on the state of a secondary device. Specifically, while displaying a media asset, a media device receives a signal from the secondary device indicating a change of state of the secondary device. The media device displays a notification of the signal, and the user can interact with the notification. If the user interacts with the notification for more than a threshold amount of time, the media device may begin recording the media asset. Once the user has finished interacting with the notification, the media device may stop recording and the user can see content that they may have missed by reviewing the recorded portion of the media asset.

Abstract: A method for increasing interaction speed between a website and a client device includes storing on an HTML5 local storage database on the client an ECMAScript file and a parameter from a web server of the website, and subsequently comparing a web server version number of the ECMAScript from the web server with the local version number of the parameter stored on the HTML5 local storage database. The parameter specifies a local version number of the ECMAScript file. The method can also include updating the ECMAScript stored on the HTML5 local storage database with the ECMAScript file from the web server when the web server version number is greater than the local version number. The method can also include loading the website on the client by retrieving the ECMAScript file from the HTML5 local storage database. Retrieving the ECMAScript file from the HTML5 local storage database can occur when the web server version number is the same as the local version number.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and application for digital media that allows users to share a media playlist and synchronize playing for all connected users. The user browses their device for media files to create a playlist, and then hosts the playlist over an existing local area network or creates a Wi-Fi hotspot. The playlist may be encrypted to provide a form of digital rights management. Other users are then prompted to download the playlist and send the host a calculated playback delay. Once all users have completed downloading the playlist the hosting user is prompted to press play, pushing timing information that takes into account the largest delay to all connected users via the active local area network, resulting in all devices playing the media in synchronicity for the duration of the playlist. Additional users may opt in during playback and use the timing information to synchronize their devices' playback.
