The system and methods described generate a content playlist by receiving, from a content device, a request for a content playlist. The system obtains a geographic route associated with the content device and the time period and determines a bandwidth profile associated with the geographic route, the content device, and the time period. The system then identifies a plurality of candidate content items based on a user profile associated with the content device and determines, for each of the plurality of candidate content items, an interest profile representing the correlation of segments in the respective candidate content item and the user profile. The system selects a plurality of the selected content items from the plurality of candidate content items for inclusion in the content playlist based on the interest profile for the respective candidate content item and the determined bandwidth profile and provides the content playlist to the content device.
