Abstract: A method comprising: receiving, via a distribution channel, video data having an identifier that identifies a position within a video and an address defining a location of a stored playlist. The method also comprises obtaining from a server a playlist in response to a user input, where the playlist includes location information identifying a location of a stored transport stream. The method also comprises receiving the transport stream from the location identified in the playlist over a network, and displaying the obtained transport stream.

Abstract: A High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) switch includes a plurality of peripheral device ports, each of which may be coupled to a corresponding peripheral device. The switch also includes a display device port for coupling to a display device. In one embodiment, the switch is configured to receive device identification information from one or more of the peripheral devices coupled to the peripheral device ports and to detect which of the peripheral device ports is an active port. The switch may then transmit the device identification information for the peripheral device coupled to the active port to a display device in accordance with an HDMI communication protocol, such as the consumer electronic control (CEC) protocol. In one embodiment, the peripheral device coupled to the active port is not configured to communicate according to the HDMI communication protocol.
