Methods, systems, and media for selecting content to be presented are provided. In some embodiments, the methods comprise: receiving a request for a first video content item from a user device; receiving an indication that the user device is in a background playback mode; determining that the first video content item is not suitable for presentation in the background playback mode based on one or more properties of audio data; based on the determining that the first video content item is not suitable for presentation in the background playback mode, selecting a second video content item that is suitable for presentation in the background playback mode based on the one or more properties of the audio data of the second video content item; and in response to selecting the second video content item, causing the second video content item to be presented by the user device.

Systems and method for streaming video content include downscaling video content using a downscaling model to generate downscaled video content and downloading the downscaled video content as a video stream and corresponding upscaling model to a client device. The system converts received video frames to a video memory format comprising channels having the same memory allocation size, each subsequent channel arranged in an adjacent memory location, for input to the downscaling model. The client device upscales the video stream using the received upscaling model for display by the client device in real-time. A training system trains the downscaling model to generate the downscaled video content, based on associated metadata identifying a type of video content. The downscaled video content and associated upscaling models are stored for access by an edge server, which downloads upscaling models to a client device to select an upscaling model.

A media content playback device for a vehicle and a method therefor are provided. The media content playback device includes: a media information identifying device that requests a user terminal to transmit media information and identifies the media information, when there is a request to play media content, when communicatively connected with the user terminal; a cover art obtaining device that obtains a cover art image based on the media information; and a controller that displays the cover art image on a playback screen of the media content, when playing the media content.

An electronic device, according to various embodiments, comprises: a communication unit; and a control unit, wherein the control unit may be configured to: receive, from one or more second electronic devices, via the communication unit, data regarding feedback on an image while transmitting the image that is received from a first electronic device to the one or more second electronic devices for displaying in the one or more second electronic devices; create a partial image for the one or more second electronic devices from the image on the basis of the data regarding the feedback; and provide the one or more second electronic devices with the partial image as an image corresponding to a user's preference associated with the one or more second electronic devices.

.[.A method is disclosed that includes: receiving, via a network digital video recorder, a request to record requested content; receiving, via a network digital video recorder at a first time, the requested content in a first format and the requested content in a second format; storing, via the network digital video recorder, the requested content in the first format; storing, via the network digital video recorder, the requested content in the second format; deleting, from network digital video recorder, the requested content in the second format after a predetermined time period; and transcoding, via an on demand transcoder, the requested content in the first format to the requested content in a third format after the predetermined time period..]. .Iadd.A method is disclosed, including: receiving request to record content; receiving the requested content in a plurality of versions; storing the requested content; from the plurality of versions, identify mezzanine content having a first format and resolution for retaining in storage; for a remaining plurality of versions: determine at least one criterion; retain one or more versions of the remaining plurality of versions in storage until the at least one criterion is met; receiving a request for playback of the requested content to a subscriber's device; determining whether the request may be fulfilled using any stored versions of the plurality of versions of the requested content; if the version having a format and resolution corresponding to the decoding capabilities of the subscriber's device is not stored, regenerate, from a stored version of the plurality of versions, the format and resolution that corresponds to the decoding capabilities of the subscriber's device..Iaddend.

A method for providing immersive media, performed by at least one processor includes adding resolution description information and resolution selection strategy information to file format information of immersive media content, determining a target resolution to be provided to a client based on the resolution description information and the resolution selection strategy information of the immersive media content, and transmitting an immersive media file of the target resolution to the client.

Embodiments may relate to a user equipment (UE) that is configured to determine a real-time transport protocol (RTP) media flow that includes visual data related to a plurality of images concurrently taken of a location and a supplemental information enhancement (SEI) message that is to be used to display at least a portion of the visual data. The UE is further configured to visually display, based on the visual data and the SEI message, the portion of the visual data to a user of the user device. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

A method and apparatus for an adaptive Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) streaming service using metadata of content are provided. The metadata of the content may be efficiently divided for a purpose of use of a terminal based on general media information or specific media information, and may be transmitted to the terminal. A group may include one or more representations of content. The metadata may include a group element, and the group element may provide a summary of attributes of one or more representations included in the group.

Methods and systems for packaging, transcoding, and fragmenting files (e.g., video content are described. Video content may be transcoded into fix size, variable duration fragments files that satisfy a target fragment file size. Those fragment files may be received, decoded to recover original frames of the underlying video, and then repackaged as new fragment files that are grouped based on overall file size. As a result, the new fragments may have different playback durations, but their overall file sizes may be the same and/or within a target fragment file size (TFS).

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving original media content, transcoding the original media content into a plurality of encoded media files, determining an adaptive bit rate for providing a one of the plurality of encoded media files to a computing device, delivering the encoded media file to the computing device at the adaptive bit rate for viewing on a display device of the computing device, and measuring a quality of the displayed encoded media file based on an overall mean opinion score associated with the delivered encoded media file. The overall mean opinion score may be based on a measured playback quality associated with the encoded media file and a measured upload quality associated with the original media content. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
