  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENSURING CONTINUED ACCESS TO MEDIA OF A PLAYLIST DESPITE GEOGRAPHIC CONTENT RESTRICTIONS
    Publication number: 20240015229
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for detecting information that indicates that a user will be traveling from a first geographic location to a second geographic location, and responsively accessing a playlist indicated by a profile of the user that indicates a plurality of streaming media that the user intends to consume. Control circuitry may then compare data corresponding to each streaming media of the plurality of streaming media to a database to determine whether each streaming media of the plurality of streaming media is accessible to the user at the second geographic location, and may determine that a subset of the plurality of media is not accessible to the user at the second geographic location. In response to determining that the subset is not accessible to the user at the second geographic location, the control circuitry may download each media of the subset.
    Type: Application
