    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods are described for responding to inoperative commands on a server device. In some embodiments, the disclosed technology facilitates pausing of content being played on a device without creating a bookmark of the location in the content at which the content was paused. In response to receiving the request to pause the content from playing, the server device generates a pause instruction to pause the content from playing. Upon expiry of a timeout interval, the server device automatically transforms the pause instruction into a stop instruction, which when executed causes stopping the content from playing. In some embodiments, the server device detects an user interaction event, prior to expiry of the timeout interval. Non-limiting examples of the user interaction may be shutting down the server device, switching from the content to a live broadcast program, switching from the content to another content, or exiting from the content.

    Abstract: Improved technical functionality is provided to dynamically select and seamlessly play advertisements immediately before playing of a recorded program upon selection of the recorded program for playing, or upon other detected events and conditions associated with the set-top-box (STB) or user. In some embodiments, this is performed by using metadata which may be delivered to and stored on a digital video recorder (DVR) prior to recording the program, providing a technical solution to enable opportunities for additional advertisement impressions. Playing of the advertisement may also or instead occur upon the recorded program finishing playing. Thus, the technical solution provides the additional opportunity for the content creator and/or the satellite television or cable service provider to sell advertising spots in addition to those already sold for breaks within the recorded program.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed at apparatus, systems and methods generally related to satellite, cable or other television receiver/DVR video systems for structuring a centralized content-processing device and/or its associated EPG in facilitating delivery and recording of audiovisual content when the centralized content-processing device is associated with multiple remote content-processing devices. In one implementation, a centralized content-processing device may create device-specific folders for the centralized content-processing device and one or more remote devices. The device-specific folders may, for example, include information for one or more programming events associated with content (e.g., TV shows, sports, movies, music, documentaries). In some embodiments, the device-specific folders for the remote content-processing devices are logically separated from one another in a manner such that a remote device is restricted access to the device-specific folder for the remote device.
