Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system and method for a touchscreen device. The method includes presenting a program guide. The program guide includes a cell associated with a content item. The cell is selected in response to a first user input. The method also includes determining, in response to a second user input, a number of content occurrences of the content item to record based on a length of the second user input. The second user input includes a rightward movement. Additionally, the method includes scheduling the content item to be recorded for the number of content occurrences.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a content workflow include, for example, various embodiments for ascribing metadata and processing media assets such as video, audio, and the like for ingestion into a media delivery platform. The content workflow can be implemented in a client/server environment where media assets can be ingested and processed electronically. According to an exemplary embodiment, a method for operating a system includes receiving, via the system, a metadata file for at least one of audio and video content represented by a title, the metadata file including a provider identification; and generating, via the system and in response to the provider identification, one or more software elements representing one or more rules for distributing the content.
