Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms described herein facilitate providing dynamic digital object placement in a video stream. An exchange network for engagements within video streaming content is maintained, and a number of engagement entities and content providers are connected to the exchange network. An engagement proposal is received from an engagement entity in the exchange network, containing media assets for an engagement and proposed engagement information. Content provider requirements are also received from a content provider in the exchange network, containing content provider requirements and one or more engagement surfaces associated with a video stream. The exchange network determines that the received engagement proposal matches the received content provider requirements.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms described herein relate to generating a unified playlist for media content originating from different content providers. According to various embodiments, a connection request from a media aggregation system is sent to an over-the-top (OTT) content service provider. A connection is established between the media aggregation system and the OTT content service provider. A connection is also established between the media aggregation system and a cable/satellite/terrestrial (CST) content service provider. Program information from the OTT content service provider and program information associated with the CST content service provider are combined to generate a unified playlist at the media aggregation system.

Abstract: In general, certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and/or systems for implementing a program guide, which comprises sending a first request and receiving a first response associated with a current or future program guide information. The current or future program guide information includes a first plurality of channel identifiers and a plurality of time slots that correspond to current or future time slots, and is displayed at a client device. A second request is sent, which indicates a requested time period that has already occurred and not displayed on the client device, and corresponds to navigation to a previous time slot. A second response is received, which is associated with past program guide information. The past program guide information includes a second plurality of channel identifiers and on-demand program information, and is displayed at the client device.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating a program guide that simultaneously displays future content item identifiers and past content item identifiers. The future content items will be available from a content source in future time slots. The future content item identifiers are sized according to the lengths of corresponding future content items. The past content item that were available from the content source in past time slots. The past content item identifiers are not sized according to the lengths of corresponding past content items.
