A system is provided for concurrent presentation of non-programming media assets with programming media content at a client device. The client device receives a response for occurrence of an event opportunity point from the media presentation and distribution system based on a selection criteria for the event opportunity point. A display view of the client device is modified, and a non-programming media asset is presented from a second media stream for a defined duration and different version of the programming media content in first partition, concurrently with the programming media content over second partition. The different version of the programming media content corresponds to the programming media content encoded based on a region within the modified display view allocated to the first partition. The presentation is based on user preference for specific item in the programming media content and user selection of the non-programming media asset displayed in past engagement.

Systems, methods, and apparatus are described herein for providing an adaptive media traffic management process. The adaptive media traffic management process may be provided to identify available slots in a log, identify unscheduled media information that can be scheduled in the available slots, and determine how to schedule the unscheduled media information to generate a revised (e.g., optimized) log. A computing device may receive a log associated with a media channel from another computing device that is associated with an administrative user. The computing device may identify an available slot. The computing device may automatically assign an unscheduled portion of media information to the available slot. The computing device may generate a revised log that includes the unscheduled portion of media information in the available slot. The computing device may send the revised log to the computing device associated with the administrative user.

In various example embodiments, a system and method for dynamically ordering content and discrete content segments are presented. A set of discrete content segments is received having a first order for distributing the set of discrete content segments during a display of a media stream. Each discrete content segment includes a set of ordering factors. Event data is received. The event data is representative of a set of events depicted by the media stream. A set of event instances is determined from the event data representing the set of events depicted by the media stream. A second order is generated for the set of discrete content segments based on the set of event instances and the sets of ordering factors.

Facilitating pre-positioning of streaming content onto communication devices is provided herein. A system can comprise a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can comprise facilitating an identification of a first multimedia content stream and a second multimedia content stream. The identification can be based on a usage preference of a defined entity associated with a communication device. The operations can also comprise, in response to a determination that an available network satisfies a defined network criterion, facilitating pre-positioning, at a data store of the communication device, the first multimedia content stream and the second multimedia content stream.

An automated method is provided for identifying candidate locations in video content for inserting advertisement (ad) breaks. Each candidate location is a different offset time from the beginning of the video content. Different distinct characteristics of the video content are identified at offset times. Certain characteristics are desirable and certain other characteristics are not desirable. Candidate locations are identified which have the most desirable characteristics at particular offset times, but which do not have any of the undesirable characteristics at any of the offset times.

There is disclosed a system for providing streaming services, comprising: a plurality of capture devices, each for capturing data and providing a captured data stream; and a server, for receiving the plurality of captured data streams; wherein each capture device is configured to generate metadata for the captured data, and transmit said metadata to the server.

The system and methods described aid content delivery by providing requested content using a hybrid delivery of unicast and multicast content. A content delivery system receives, from user equipment, a request for content and identifies multicast sources for the content. The content delivery system determines a recent multicast source from the multicast sources, the recent multicast source having begun more recently relative to the other sources. The content delivery system transmits, to the user equipment, an identity of the recent multicast source and provides a beginning portion of the content to the user equipment via a unicast stream.

A mobile station may comprise a receiver to receive, from a base station, a broadcast signal indicating a TDD configuration of uplink OFDM symbols and downlink OFDM symbols. The receiver may receive an indication of a symbol range and a subchannel range for use in transmission of CQI feedback. The mobile station may receive first downlink data and transmit first uplink data, using the TDD configuration, wherein the first uplink data comprises CQI feedback information transmitted in accordance with the symbol range and the subchannel range. The receiver may receive second downlink data, from the base station, on a different frequency as the first uplink data is transmitted, while the first uplink data is transmitted.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a broadcasting method and device for a live broadcast, where the method includes: receiving push information of a target creation sent by a server, where the push information is sent by the server when determining that play popularity of the target creation meets preset popularity; and in response to an operation of a user on the push information, entering a broadcasting page of a live broadcast application (App). In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by pushing the target creation whose play popularity exceeds preset popularity to the user, to prompt the user that one target creation is becoming a hot creation, so as to guide the user to carry out a live broadcast with the target creation as a topic.

In various embodiments, a graph streaming application computes a first distance along a first potential playback path between a first playback position and a first media content block. The graph streaming application then computes a first score for the first media content block based on the first distance and a first probability associated with the first potential playback path. Similarly, the graph streaming application computes a second score for a second media content block based on a second playback position, a second potential playback path, and a second probability associated with the second potential playback path. The graph streaming application compares the first score and the second score to determine that the first media content block should be buffered by a client device. The graph streaming application then causes the first media content block to be stored in a playback buffer for subsequent playback on the client device.
