  • Patent number: 11589106
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a media program and receiving a digital media stream including metadata and payload data, wherein the payload data includes program content of the identified media program. The metadata further includes program event information and program status information related to the identified media program. A recording status of the identified media program is determined, wherein an active recording status indicates the identified media program is being recorded at a media recorder. Responsive to the active recording status, an end of program is determined according to the identified media program, the program event information and the program status information. Responsive to the end of program, termination of the recording of the media program is initiated. Other embodiments are disclosed.
