Certain exemplary embodiments relate to entertainment systems and, more particularly, certain exemplary embodiments relate to jukebox systems that incorporate digital downloading jukebox features along with karaoke jukebox and/or photo booth features. A combined karaoke/photo booth/jukebox may enable more integrated performance-like experiences in an in-home or out-of-home location or venue. By leveraging vast audio media libraries, trusted rights-respecting network infrastructure, and on-site image/video capturing from integrated recorders and/or remote portable devices, a more sociable experience may be created for karaoke jukebox patrons, e.g., where custom content can be generated and shared in a safe and legally appropriate manner.

The medical video processing system is provided with: an encoder 120 that inputs a plurality of video files about a surgical operation, separating the plurality of video files according to a plurality of input systems; a server apparatus 130; and a viewing terminal apparatus 140. The viewing terminal apparatus 140 displays a plurality of timelines related to the plurality of video files, separating the plurality of timelines according to input systems; and synchronously displays, among images included in the plurality of video files corresponding to the displayed timelines, at least a part of a plurality of images associated with a time code of a certain time point included in the time lines, and accepts an operation input by a user to execute editing processing about video files synchronously displayed in a synchronous display area.

An information processing apparatus executes processing of making sizes of a plurality of pieces of data the same by adding dummy data to data other than data having a maximum size among the plurality of pieces of data, generates parity data based on the plurality of pieces of data to which the dummy data is added, and selects the magnetic tapes as recording destinations of the plurality of pieces of data and the parity data from the plurality of magnetic tapes such that a difference in a size of at least one of the dummy data or the parity data to be recorded on each of the plurality of magnetic tapes is minimized.

Embodiments described herein involve facilitating playback in a media playback system that includes a first media device and a second media device. An example implementation involves comparing one or more first network performance metrics corresponding to a network interface of the first media device to one or more second network performance metrics corresponding to a network interface of the second media device, wherein the comparison indicates that the first media device has a better network connection than the second media device. Based on the comparison, the first media device is configured to forward data indicating audio content from a network source to the second media device to facilitate playback of the audio content by the second media device. The second media device plays back particular audio content via one or more speakers by receiving data indicating the particular audio content from the first media device.

Systems and methods for recording a meeting using a retroactive record feature. The present technology provides for improved systems and methods for providing a recording of a virtual meeting, where a selection to initiate the recording from the beginning or an earlier time in the meeting from a current time may be received after the virtual meeting has started. The system may process received meeting content streams to generate a plurality of data segments that may collectively form a meeting recording. Each data segment, for example, may include meeting content associated with a particular user/attendee and associated with a timestamp and/or time duration. In some examples, the plurality of data segments may be stored on a blockchain, which may provide an immutable meeting record that may be concatenated together and made available for playback based on a selection to record the meeting and consent given by the users/attendees.

A first playback is configured to (i) determine that it is connected to a local data network using a first networking protocol, (ii) receive a command to join a second playback device in a group of playback devices that are configured for synchronous playback of audio content from an audio source, (iii) determine that the second playback device is connected to the local data network using a second networking protocol different from the first networking protocol, (iv) based on determining that the second playback device is connected to the local data network using a second networking protocol different from the first networking protocol, configure the first playback device as a group coordinator of the group of playback devices, and (v) while rendering the audio content, (a) receive the audio content from the audio source and (b) forward at least a portion of the received audio content to the second playback device.

A media presentation system includes a page editor enabling embedding into pages of clips referencing portions of a full time-indexed media recording. The pages can be shared with other users with different permissions levels. When a page is loaded, text-layers (e.g., transcript text) of the media data referenced by any embedded clips are displayed, and a playback token is provided, granting access only to the referenced portions of the recording. For full recordings, a group ownership scheme dictates that any recording can have one or many owners that have full rights in accessing and modifying the recording, including redaction.

A video sequence layout method, electronic device and storage medium are provided, and relate to fields of deep learning, virtual reality, cloud computing, video layout processing and the like. The method includes: acquiring a first video sequence, the first video sequence including a main sequence for describing a first posture of a human body and a subordinate sequence for describing a plurality of second postures of the human body; extracting the main sequence and the subordinate sequence from the first video sequence; and in a case that it is detected that a sequencing identification frame exists in the first video sequence, performing random mixed sequencing processing on video frames in the main sequence and the subordinate sequence based on the sequencing identification frame and taking a sequence combination obtained by the random mixed sequencing processing as a second video sequence.
