Creating a playlist of multimedia assets based on estimated user viewing length and an estimated length of engagement during a user session. Assets are selected based on an anchor asset displayed with the playlist of multimedia assets.

Systems and methods are described herein for a media guidance application that can cause a specific portion of a media asset to be stored based on a user command. For example, if the user requests the closing scene from a given movie, the media guidance application may detect the command, determine that it comprises an instruction to store a portion of a media asset, identify a source of the portion of the media asset, and cause the portion of the media asset to be stored. The media guidance application may also cause the entirety of the media asset to be stored and initiate playback at the start of the requested portion. This may allow users to store and watch portions of particular interest without requiring that the users seek through the entire media asset on their own.

Disclosed implementations display information about entities in a structured way. In one aspect, a method is performed at a server system comprising memory and processors. The server receives a request from a client device for an information page associated with an entity belonging to a viewable media category. The server identifies predefined information types associated with the viewable media category and populates a first region of a search result page with information about the entity corresponding to the predefined information types. Responsive to determining that the first entity is available for streaming or downloading, the server populates a second region of the search result page with a location-based information type that is distinct from the set of predefined information types and populated using information about a location from which the first entity can be streamed or downloaded. The server transmits the search result page to the client device.

The present disclosure describes systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for generating a visual media collection for a social networking account and provide access to (or distribute) images, videos, or other visual media items from the visual media collection separate from social networking posts uncategorized within such a collection for the social networking account. For example, based on follow requests specific to a visual media collection, the disclosed systems can further distribute visual media items in collections posts from a particular visual media collection differing from other visual media collections and from social networking posts uncategorized within such a collection of a social networking account. In certain implementations, the disclosed systems further provide search results comprising a visual media item from a visual media collection based on a description or annotation for the visual media collection or a shared visual media collection with another visual media item.

A method includes generating a text file related to media content. The media content comprises a first segment and a second segment. A first portion of the text file includes a first time of the first segment and represents audio in the first segment or video in the first segment. A second portion of the text file includes a second time of the second segment and represents audio in the second segment or video in the second segment. A search query is received at a playback device, and the playback device plays the media content starting at the second time in response to the search query matching the second portion of the text file.

Provided is a display device including a display unit, a storage unit configured to store information on a web page, a microphone configured to receive a user's voice command, a network interface unit configured to perform communication with a natural language processing (NLP) server, and a controller configured to transmit text data of the voice command to the NLP server, to receive intention analysis result information corresponding to the voice command from the NLP server, to select, as a final candidate address, one of a plurality of candidate addresses related to a search word included in the received intention analysis result information if the search word is not stored in the storage unit, and to access a website corresponding to the selected final candidate address.

Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for incrementally receiving and rendering content items. One example system includes a server, a user device, and a client running on the user device. The client sends a content request to the server. The client receives a response to the content request incrementally in multiple fragments. The multiple fragments constitute the entire response. The fragments include content items and metadata describing the content items, and each content item is renderable and defined by one or more data objects. The client incrementally renders the content items in the fragments in a display buffer as the fragments are received. The content items are rendered in an order determined by the metadata. The client displays all or a part of the display buffer on a display of the user device.
