Abstract: In one embodiment, a set-top box records playback content. The playback content comprises at least one frame that displays first media content and a first advertisement simultaneously. Moreover, the first advertisement is associated with an expiry date. The set-top box receives a selection to view the playback content on a viewing date and determines that the viewing date is past the expiry date associated with the first advertisement. When the viewing date is past the expiry date associated with the first advertisement, the set-top box updates the playback content by replacing the first advertisement in the at least one frame of the playback content with a second advertisement. The set-top box communicates the updated playback content to a display device. The updated playback content comprises at least one frame that displays media content and the second advertisement simultaneously.

Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a set-top box determines whether to communicate a notification to a user device to live stream multimedia content. The notification comprises an option to initiate live streaming of the multimedia content. The set-top box communicates the notification to the user device to live stream the multimedia content. A user device communicates a selection to initiate live streaming of the multimedia content to the set-top box. In response to the selection, the set-top box live streams the multimedia content to the user device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to data distribution amongst nodes in a computing system. For example, a controller device of the computing system may first identify one or more nodes in a network that are available for data processing and/or storage tasks. The controller device may next assign data processing and/or storage tasks to one or more nodes. Data processing and/or storage tasks may be efficiently (e.g., randomly and/or evenly) distributed amongst one or more core processors of the assigned nodes. Techniques described herein help to balance the utilization of computing resources and minimize the risk of lost data during reconfigurations and/or network failures.
