Abstract: Methods, systems, and machine-readable media are provided to facilitate content receiver control for particularized output of content items based on intra-content metrics. Observation data, corresponding to indications of detected content receiver operations associated with a content receiver and mapped to a first set of content items, may be processed. A first set of intra-content metrics may be detected. An audiovisual pattern of intra-content metrics may be mapped based on correlating the set of observation data with the first set of intra-content metrics. A second set of content items may be processed to detect a second set of intra-content metrics. A subset of the second set of content items may be selected based on a visual category and/or an audio category of the audiovisual pattern of intra-content metrics. The subset may be specified to cause a content receiver to modify operations to record and/or output content corresponding to the subset.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for paywall-enabled streaming content onto social media platforms. The content can be streamed via a third-party social media interface to a user. The systems can perform the process of providing the video content for display via the third-party social media interface to the user on the client device and determining, after a free viewing period has expired, either that the viewer is already authorized to continue watching through an existing paid subscription or that the viewer may choose to continue watching by making an immediate payment for the content through a paywall that is provided and displayed via the third-party social media interface. After confirmation of payment or an existing paid subscription, the system can provide unobstructed display of the video content via the third-party social media interface.

Abstract: Systems and processes associated with an augmented film crew. For example, a computer-implemented method may include receiving, at a display of a user media device, an indication that a user of the user media device intends to generate a user video in an environment; receiving, at the display, an input indicating a user preference associated with the user video; generating, by the user media device, data associated with the environment using a sensor of the user media device; determining, by the user media device, a purpose for the user video using the user preference and the data associated with the environment, wherein the purpose is chosen from a predetermined set of purposes; detecting an additional media device that is located in the environment, wherein the additional media device is associated with the user or the user media device; determining pre-production assignments for the user video using the purpose and the additional media device, wherein the pre-production assignments indicate one or more characteristics of the scene for the user video in the environment; generating, using the user media device, a first video stream of the scene in the environment using the pre-production assignments; receiving, from the additional media device, a second video stream of the scene; and generating, by the user media device, the user video using the first video stream or the second video streams. The above steps may be implemented as instructions stored in a computer-readable medium, computer program product, or device such as a television receiver, or in other types of embodiments.
