Abstract: Embodiments establish duration estimates for tasks associated with media content ingestion, such as in application or game production. A content ingestion system receives a content submission request from a publisher. The request identifies a media content type that has a plurality of associated tasks. Based on previous submissions from the publisher, duration estimates for the tasks are generated and adjusted based on historical transaction data associated with other publishers (e.g., global averages). The duration estimates are provided to the publishers along with, for example, start and end dates for the tasks presented on a calendar or other workback schedule.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating an adaptive playlist on a computing device onboard a vehicle are provided. The system may include an onboard vehicle computing device configured to execute a media player program. The media player program may include a media storage module configured to store a plurality of media items, a user preference module having user media preferences, a contextual data module configured to receive dynamic contextual data from an onboard vehicle data source, and a playlist manager module. The playlist manager module may include a playlist generation engine configured to generate an adaptive playlist including user playlist media items, and a contextual media selection engine configured to select contextual media items based on the dynamic contextual data and interleave the selected contextual media items into the adaptive playlist.
