Abstract: Techniques implementable by a computer system are provided. The techniques include sending a request to stream media content. The request can include a media content identifier and a streaming start point in the media content. The techniques also include receiving an encrypted portion of a media stream for the media content. The encrypted portion can be encrypted by an encryption key. The portion can begin at a silence point. The silence point can be at or after a threshold time length beyond the streaming start point. The techniques also include receiving the encryption key. The techniques also include presenting the encrypted portion of the media stream.

Abstract: Techniques implementable by a computer system are provided. The techniques include receiving, by a server device, a request to stream media, the request including a media content and a streaming start point in the media content. The techniques also include determining a first time length based at least in part on time to receive permissioning. The techniques also include determining a silence point in the media content based at least in part on the streaming start point, the first time length, and identified silence points in the media content. The techniques also include determining a second time length based at least in part on the silence point and the streaming start point, the second time length defining a clear portion. The techniques also include generating a media stream comprising the clear portion and a remaining portion, the clear portion having a time length of the second time length.
