Techniques are described for detecting faults in media content based on the behavior of users viewing the media content. Embodiments stream a first instance of media content to one or more users. The behavior of the one or more users is monitored while the users are viewing the streaming first instance of media content. Embodiments then determine whether the first instance of media content is faulty, based on the monitored behavior of the one or more users.

Disclosed herein is a music service that enables consumers listen to a broadcast radio station without commercials. The service operates by shifting the source channel of a radio from the broadcast radio to a streaming audio service for the duration of the commercial. In some embodiments, the service utilizes any of: a radio including native firmware/software, a mobile device such as a smart phone executing an application, cooperative integration of a radio and a mobile device, or master/slave relationship between a mobile device and a radio. The mobile device listens to the radio broadcast and determines when to shift between the radio broadcast and the streaming audio via any of audio fingerprint analysis, radio station behavioral analysis, radio station metadata, and/or radio station voice recognition analysis.

The method includes splitting a radio signal received at an in-vehicle antenna into two RF streams, and at the device under test, converting the first RF stream into a demodulated audio signal and transmitting it to the tester and recorder device. The tester and recorder device also receives the demodulated audio signal, determines a spectrum of frequencies over time, inputs the spectrum of frequencies into an artificial intelligence (AI) module of audio abnormality detection. The device also receives the second RF stream, converts it into a data signal, and records the data signal into a temporary storage memory. Then, when the AI module outputs of a positive detection of audio abnormality, the device transfers data from the temporary storage memory into a permanent storage memory, where the transferred data corresponds to a time window including the detected audio abnormality.

Automated Network Orchestration
