Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing access to media content associated with an artist scheduled for performance. A media application enables display of a playlist personalized for a user, based on a location of the user, a list of artists scheduled for performance, and a media consumption history of the user. An input action causes a media server to populate the playlist with media content. The media server determines the location of the user, retrieves those performance listings within a predetermined distance, retrieves the media consumption history of the user, filters the performance listings based on the media consumption history to obtain a set of artists having performance listings relevant to the user, selects media content items associated with each artist, and organizes the selected media content items within the playlist.

Abstract: A method, which may be performed at an electronic device, such as a media server associated with a media-providing service, causes a set of media items to be provided to a user based on identifying performance listings relevant to the user. The method includes determining a list of one or more performance listings of artists relevant to a user based on a media consumption history of the user, the media consumption history describing media content items previously delivered to the user by a media content server, and a listening profile of a second user, distinct from the first user, the listening profile identifying media content and artists played by the second user via the media content server. The method includes providing one or more media items to the user, the one or more media items selected based on the list of one or more performance listings.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing commercial (advertisement) detection in digital media environments. A media stream, for example, a video stream of television shows or movies, can be analyzed either in advance or in realtime, to determine commercial segments or blocks within the media stream, and to distinguish them from (non-commercial) content segments or blocks. In accordance with an embodiment, frame features, black spaces, cue points, or other segment or block information can be used to improve the accuracy and precision with which commercials are identified. Particular commercials can be identified, together with information as to the location of those commercials within the media stream. In accordance with an embodiment, the media streams can be used within an on-demand cloud-based media environment, which allows a user to select within a plurality of media channels, or to locate or skip particular commercials.
