Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to monitor media are disclosed. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, machine-readable instructions, and at least one processor to execute the machine-readable instructions to at least establish a direct media network as a Group Owner after performance of a negotiation process with a streaming client device. The at least one processor is to add a client device to the direct media network based on a beacon response from the streaming client device and, after metadata is extracted from first media at the apparatus, cause transmission of the first media to a media presentation device via the direct media network, the metadata representative of an identification of the media, and cause transmission of a message including the identification of the media to a server via a network to credit the media as having been accessed based on the identification.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for encoding a watermark using a multichain blockchain. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes permission manager circuitry to detect a request from a requesting device, the request for watermark payload elements to encode in a media asset and blockchain client interface circuitry to allocate, via a first transaction on a blockchain maintained by a blockchain network, the water payload elements.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to monitor media are disclosed. An example system includes a second client device to transmit media to a first client device via a streaming monitor device, the streaming monitor device to operate as a Group Owner of a direct media network including the first and second client devices, identify media identification information and media device information, and transmit the media identification information and the media device information to the server, and the server to identify at least one of the first or second client devices based on the media device information, identify the media based on the media identification information, and generate a data association of the media and at least one of the first or second client devices, the data association based on a credit of the media as having been accessed by at least one of the first or second client devices.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to monitor media are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a message extractor to extract message information from a message obtained from a streaming monitor at a media exposure measurement location, the message information including media identification information of media presented in a direct media network and media device information associated with at least one of a streaming client device associated with the direct media network or a media presentation device associated with the direct media network, a media device identifier to identify at least one of the streaming client device or the media presentation device based on the media device information, a media identifier to identify the media based on the media identification information, and a media creditor to credit the media as having been accessed in response to identifying the media.
