Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments for server-side scene change content stitching. An example embodiment operates by providing a stream of first content for display on a display device. Second content to be stitched into the stream is received. Metadata indicates a point in time in the stream into which the second content is to be stitched. A scene change is identified in the first content closest to the point in time. A first frame proximate to the scene change is identified. The stream is displayed on the display device, including the second content stitched into the first content.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for automatically determining the functionality and capabilities of electronic components. Some embodiments operate by transmitting a command to the display device in question (sometimes called the device under test—DUT—herein) and monitoring the device. Then, it is determined whether an action by the display device was one of a set of proper responses to the command. If the action was proper, then it is determined that the display device supports the command set associated with the command. The command set may be the Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) set, although this disclosure is not limited to that example.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for stitching second content into a stream of first content, where the audio and/or video format of the first content may differ from the second content. An example media device embodiment operates by decoding first content using a first decoder compatible with the first content. The decoded first content is displayed on a display device. The media device then receives second content for stitching into the display of the first content. The media device determines whether an audio format and a video format of the second content match an audio format and a video format of the first content. If the audio format and the video format match, then the media device causes a program time stamp (PTS) of the second content to be consecutive with a PTS of the first content during the stitching, such that a reference clock is also consecutive.

Abstract: Generating trick mode data from streaming media content is described herein. A media device receives streaming media content. A content server streams media content to the media device configured to identify a plurality of key frames within the media content. The content server receives the plurality of key frames from the media device. The content server further generates trick mode data for the media content based on the received plurality of key frames.

Abstract: System and method for generating trick mode data from streaming media content, are described. A media device receives streaming media content. During the streaming, the media device identifies a plurality of key frames from the media content, and also generates trick mode data from the plurality of key frames. The trick mode data generated during the streaming of the media content is used to perform a trick mode operation on the media content.

Abstract: A method and system for selection of recordable events from among a set of recordable events, based on categories and sub-categories, that cumulatively describe a substantial portion of the entire set of recordable events. After receiving a first set of categories, and first sets of sub-categories corresponding to the first set of categories, at a device, the device is configured to use the first set of categories and the first set of sub-categories, to guide a user in selecting a series of recordable events to experience and/or record. Thereafter, the device receives a second set of categories and respective second sets of sub-categories that correspond to the categories of the second set of categories, and the device responsively configures itself to use the second set of categories and the second sets of sub-categories, to guide a user in selecting a series of recordable events to experience and/or record.
