Abstract: Techniques are described for presenting streaming media content to users in an engaging manner. A streaming media player may provide an interface that allows users to browse though a collection of available titles sorted into different categories (e.g., science fiction titles, television shows, westerns, etc.). The interface may be configured to automatically begin playback of one of the media titles at a designated insertion point, providing a user with a preview of the title. The insertion point itself may be selected as an interesting point in a given title, and therefore, likely to engage a user in that title.

Abstract translation: 描述了用于以具有吸引力的方式向用户呈现流媒体内容的技术。 流媒体播放器可以提供允许用户浏览分类到不同类别（例如，科幻片，电视节目，西方等）中的可用标题的集合的界面。 接口可以被配置为在指定的插入点处自动开始播放其中一个媒体标题，为用户提供标题的预览。 插入点本身可以​​被选择为给定标题中的有趣点，并且因此可能使用户参与该标题。
