Abstract: A method for controlling presentation of metadata regarding media. A system could generate query fingerprints representing media content being presented, the media content having been identified as being a first media-content item. The system could further detect a threshold mismatch comprising at least one of the query fingerprints not matching any of first reference fingerprints known to represent the first media-content item. In response, the system could engage in new media identification, establishing that the media content is a second media-content item, and could obtain both second reference fingerprints known to represent the second media-content item and metadata regarding the second media-content item.
