Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for presenting notifications indicating recommended content are provided. In some implementations, a method for presenting notifications of recommended content is provided, the method comprising: receiving an indication that a user device has initiated a casting session with at least one display device, wherein the indication includes an identifier of media content presented on the at least one display device during the casting session; storing the indication in a log in association with an identifier of the user device; receiving, from the user device, a request for recommended content to be presented on the at least one display device associated with the user device; in response to receiving the request, identifying a group of media content items based on at least one media content item that has been previously selected by a user account associated with the user device and based on an identifier of the at least one display device; generating a notification that includes an indication of the identified group of media content items and a selectable input that, when selected, causes the identified group of media content items to begin being presented on the at least one display device; and transmitting the notification to the user device, wherein transmitting the notification to the user device causes the notification to be presented on the user device.

Abstract: A system of multi-modal transmission of packetized data in a voice activated data packet based computer network environment is provided. A natural language processor component can parse an input audio signal to identify a request and a trigger keyword. Based on the input audio signal, a direct action application programming interface can generate a first action data structure, and a content selector component can select a content item. An interface management component can identify first and second candidate interfaces, and respective resource utilization values. The interface management component can select, based on the resource utilization values, the first candidate interface to present the content item. The interface management component can provide the first action data structure to the client computing device for rendering as audio output, and can transmit the content item converted for a first modality to deliver the content item for rendering from the selected interface.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for selecting content to be presented are provided. In some embodiments, the methods comprise: receiving a request for a first video content item from a user device; receiving an indication that the user device is in a background playback mode; determining that the first video content item is not suitable for presentation in the background playback mode based on one or more properties of audio data; based on the determining that the first video content item is not suitable for presentation in the background playback mode, selecting a second video content item that is suitable for presentation in the background playback mode based on the one or more properties of the audio data of the second video content item; and in response to selecting the second video content item, causing the second video content item to be presented by the user device.

Abstract: A stream hosting server generates anchors associated with a live stream, each anchor specifying a timestamp of the live stream that represents an opportune moment for a user to join the live stream. When a viewer client device sends a request to join the live stream, the stream hosting server analyzes the anchor list and selects an appropriate anchor. The stream hosting server provides the live stream to the viewer client device beginning at the timestamp specified by the anchor. Thus, the viewer client device can begin displaying the live stream at the opportune moment specified by the anchor. The stream hosting server also creates video on demand content that include a completed live stream as well as anchors associated with the live stream. The viewer client device can display the VOD beginning at different anchors.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium for sequential presentation of content. A method includes: receiving a first request for content; identifying a campaign including a first content item for presenting in response to the first request; determining a first time associated with the first request; determining an expiration time associated with a sequential presentation of content items based on presentation of the first content item; receiving a second request for content; after receiving the second request for content, determining whether the expiration time has passed, and when not, determining an amount of time that has elapsed since the first time; and determining a second, different content item to deliver in response to the second request based at least in part on the amount of elapsed time.

Abstract: A method for ranking comments includes receiving a request for a media item; obtaining a plurality of comments associated with the media item; and for each of the plurality of comments, identifying an entity that provided a respective comment; and identifying an attribution score for the entity, the attribution score based on a quantity of responses attributed to a sharing message pertaining to the media item, the responses representing consumption of the media item. The method further includes determining ranking scores for the plurality of comments based on corresponding attribution scores; and providing the media item and at least a portion of the plurality of comments to be displayed in an order defined by the ranking scores.

Abstract: A content server stores digital content including video, audio, image, animation, or text content. The content server receives requests to access digital content at a URI, which includes a content identifier specifying a digital content item and, optionally, a playlist identifier specifying a playlist containing the digital content item. The content server obtains a canonical playlist that uniquely contains the specified digital content item out of all canonical playlists and generates a canonical URI containing a canonical playlist identifier and the digital content item identifier. The content server incorporates this canonical URI into metadata associated with the digital content. When the digital content is presented through a content distributor, the associated metadata indicates the canonical playlist and optionally a next digital content item from the canonical playlist. Additionally, the content server may associate no-index metadata with digital content in non-canonical playlists to remove the digital content from search results.
