In a method for transmitting and reproducing acoustic information, acoustic data is provided which comprises a first data component and a second data component, wherein the first data component does not contain speech information, and the second data component contains speech information. Each piece of data is reproduced by first and second audio reproduction means (30, 40) such that all users (101, 102) can hear the acoustic signals emitted by the first audio reproduction means (30) together, and the acoustic signals emitted by the second audio reproduction means (40) can be heard substantially only by the corresponding user (101, 102).

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and device for playing a video. The method comprises: in the process of playing a video, displaying a first subtitle in a subtitle component displayed in a playback interface of the video, and playing a first audio corresponding to the first subtitle; in response to a first trigger operation of a user on the subtitle component, displaying a first pop-up window, the first pop-up window being used to switch display of the first subtitle to the second subtitle; in response to a second trigger operation of the user on the first pop-up window, switching to display the second subtitle in the subtitle component, and playing a second audio corresponding to the second subtitle. The video playback method and device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can solve the issues that users cannot understand subtitles and audios in the process of watching videos, thereby improving the users' experience.

A source apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a storage, a communicator, and a processor configured to, when the source apparatus being turned on while the source apparatus is turned off, identify an application related to a content included in the content reproduction history among a plurality of applications based on a content reproduction history stored in the storage, control the communicator to receive a content list provided by the application, and provide the content list by executing the application.

In some embodiments, an electronic device can guide the user in setting up the device for the first time or after a factory reset. In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates suggesting and installing applications on the electronic device during device setup. In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates transferring settings and information from another electronic device during device setup.

A set-top box with enhanced content and system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a wireless transceiver is located within a housing, which also interconnectively includes a television input, television output, a processor, and memory. The set-top box may establish a pairing with a proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device having a display. Content, such music, for example, may be imported from the proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device and provided to the television. While the music is playing, the set-top box may generate and provide to the television a control signal that includes instructions to adjust the brightness of the television by dimming the television.

This application discloses a video data processing method and apparatus and a storage medium. The method includes: displaying a video playing interface corresponding to video data, and recognizing an operation gesture corresponding to a slide operation, determining, according to the slide operation, whether the operation gesture belongs to a first gesture type, in response to determining that the operation gesture belongs to the first gesture type, obtaining a start trigger position and an end trigger position of the slide operation from a slide trajectory of the slide operation, and determining, based on the start and end trigger positions, a slide direction indicated by the slide trajectory, adjusting, based on the slide direction and a progress control direction of a progress bar in the video playing interface, the playing progress of the video data by the preset progress duration, and displaying, on the video playing interface, playing-progress-adjusted video data.

A method for managing a live-streaming room comprises displaying a first live-streaming interface of a live-streaming room by a first terminal; detecting a first operation through the first live-streaming interface; and sending a first instruction to a live-streaming server in response to the first operation, wherein the live-streaming server is configured to send the first instruction to a second terminal, the first instruction instructs the second terminal to perform a synchronization operation with the first terminal.
