A video aggregation system presents video content items to multiple users. A first filter is used to filter content items from a first feed and a second feed for a first user. A second filter is used to filter content items from the first feed and the second feed for a second user.

A video aggregation system for providing a user personalized video content from videos available on the Internet generates a selective feed by combining a first feed and a second feed. The video aggregation system receives a search request from an Internet service and transmits a search reply containing a separately resolvable link to a video content object from the selective feed.

Techniques for publishing key pictures at a server and using the key picture information for operations on a client device are described herein. In accordance with various embodiments, the server creates an intermediate unit including key picture(s) from media content. The server then generates map(s) specifying for each key picture, a type, properties, and an association to the intermediate unit. The server also packages the intermediate unit into key picture unit(s) according to the map(s). The client device obtains a manifest for the media content referencing the key picture(s) and the type of each key picture. Upon receiving a request to perform operation(s) on a respective key picture, the client device obtains a corresponding key picture unit and parses the manifest to determine a respective type. Based on the respective type matches a criterion, the client device performs the operation(s) on the key picture unit.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for automatically providing summarized views of a media asset in a multi-window user interface. For example, a media guidance application may generate a summary view of a media asset by including important content portions into the summary view based on metadata of the content portion. The media guidance application may display the summary view, and missed content in parallel at different windows of the same user equipment. The missed content and the summary view may be coordinated to be displayed in synchronization. In this way, when a user watches the summary view at a center window on the user equipment, the user may also have the option to watch the missed content displayed simultaneously on a side window to catch up on the missed content.

An online system presents content items to a group of users who provide ratings for the content items. Based on ratings received from various users of the group, the online system generates data describing presentation of the content items to users of the group. Because of a limited number of users in the group, the online system enforces rules that limit the ability to show content items to users of the group within a time interval. Accordingly, when a set of content items are selected for presentation to a user of the group, the online system replaces content items of the set that were previously shown to the user within the time interval with alternative content items. The online system also retrieves a previously received rating for a content item replaced by an alternative content item to use along with ratings received for content items of the set.

There is provided a method and system for generating and distributing an encoded content transport stream. The method comprises obtaining metadata and at least one unique identifier that identifies content elements, generating a recipient specific list using the metadata and at least one of the unique identifiers, creating a content transport stream using the recipient specific list including the metadata and the identified content elements, encoding the content transport stream to generate the encoded content transport stream, and distributing the encoded content transport stream through at least one network path. The metadata may include destination points and priority information of the encoded content transport stream, which may take the form of sections of television programming or block of commercial advertisements.

A video aggregation system presents video contents items to multiple users. A first feed, a second feed, and a third feed are acquired. The aggregation system presents content items of the first feed, the second feed, and the third feed in a first sequence to a first user. The aggregation system presents content items of the first feed, the second feed, and the third feed in a second sequence to a second user. In some embodiments, the first sequence and/or the second sequence are based on subscription to content of the first user and/or the second user.
