Abstract: Systems and methods for distributing video in multiple rating formats are disclosed herein. A rating component receives rating information for respective segments of a video and a tagging component tags the respective segments with the rating information. A storage component further stores the respective tagged segments, wherein the storage components stores multiple rated versions of a same video segment of the video. A request component further receives a request for the video and an identification component determines a desired rated version of the video based on the request. In turn, a selection component selects based on the request, one of the multiple rated versions of the same video segment of the video for transmission.

Abstract: A method for presenting initialization progress of hardware in a server, and a server where, before a basic input/output system (BIOS) runs to a preset process, an out-of-band central processing unit (CPU) in a hardware system in which a baseboard management controller (BMC) runs establishes a connection to a graphics card using a signal selection switch, the BIOS sends presentation information for representing initialization progress of hardware included in a server to the BMC, and then, the BMC presents the presentation information using the graphics card. Therefore, the presentation information can be always presented in an entire process in which the BIOS initializes the hardware in the server.

Abstract: Systems and methods for distributing, receiving, and playing a video in multiple rating formats are disclosed herein. A storage component stores video segments of a video, wherein different rating formats of at least one of the video segments are available for streaming to a streaming component. An identification component determines a desired rating format for the at least one of the video segments and a selection component selects and requests a subset of the video segments to be streamed based in part on the desired rating format. The streaming component then receives the subset of the video segments of the video.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques related to pre-fetching ads while serving ads in a live streaming video. In one implementation, the pre-fetching mechanism will set up a default set of ads pre-fetching criteria on a client and then the client will parse new/extra ads pre-fetching criteria from a live stream. Next the default set of ads pre-fetching criteria on the client will update via the parsed new/extra ads pre-fetching criteria. Now a notification from the live stream to pre-fetch ads is received by the client and the pre-fetched ads are obtained from the live stream. The client will receive a notification from the live stream to show ads and pre-fetched ads will be shown on the client. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
