Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to media systems configured to receive and play live media content. In particular, methods and systems are provided for a multi-screen content playback experience for time shifted live stream content. Systems and methods are provided herein for generating for display a catch-up video (e.g., a segment of a live stream stored as URLs on a local device during the time the live stream was interrupted) in a picture-in-picture (PIP) window, and generating the PIP catch-up window and the live window for simultaneous display.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically skipping a presentation of a portion of frames to catch up to live based on a user selection is disclosed herein. For example, a streaming application generates a content item for live streaming where the content item comprises a plurality of frames. In response to determining that playing of the content item lags behind the live streaming of the content item, the streaming application presents a selectable option for a user input where the option comprises (a) catch up to live in a particular time period. In response to receiving the user input via a corresponding option to (a) catch up to live in the particular time period, the streaming application skips a presentation of a portion of the plurality of frames, such that the playing of the content item catches up to live in the particular time period.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for generating a playlist for a simultaneous presentation of a plurality of media assets. The system retrieves a user preference associated with a user profile and receives a selection of a first media asset and a second media asset from the plurality of media assets for presentation on a user device. The system parses the respective audio streams of the first media asset and the second media asset to identify one or more preferred audio segments based on the user preference and generates the playlist of the identified one or more preferred audio segments. Based on a generated audio playlist, the system generates, for presentation on the user device, the video stream for each of the first media asset and the second media asset and the playlist of the identified one or more preferred audio segments.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for temporarily granting access to a digital gateway. One example method includes receiving a request for temporary access to the digital gateway. A temporary access token is generated at a server. The temporary access token is assigned to a user. Access to the digital gateway is granted via the temporary access token. The temporary access token is automatically expired after a pre-set period. Access to the digital gateway is revoked once the temporary access token has expired.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described to selectively stream content based on parental control ratings. At a client device, a manifest identifying sequential segments of a media asset and versions of a particular segment of the sequential segments may be received, and a graphical user interface may be generated for display to simultaneously depict a respective portion of each respective version of the particular segment and respective selectable options associated with each respective version of the particular segment. A selection of a first option may be received that is associated with a first version of the particular segment, and during playing of the media asset, in response to determining that the particular segment is the next segment to be played, the first version of the particular segment may be requested from the server.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for relocating an overlay overlapping information in content. The systems and methods may comprise receiving a content item, the content item comprising a video image, and determining a first screen position of an information box (e.g., a score box) in the video image. Determining may be performed with image analysis and/or a machine learning model. The system receives an overlay image (e.g., a channel logo) with a second screen position and determines if the second screen position (e.g., for the logo) overlaps the first screen position (e.g., for the score). In response to determining the second screen position (e.g., of the logo) overlaps the first screen position (e.g., the score), the system modifies the second screen position (e.g., for the logo). Then the system generates for display the overlay image on the video in the modified screen position. The system may not relocate the overlay if the overlay is a high priority.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically skipping a presentation of a portion of segments to catch up to live based on a skippable bit value is disclosed herein. For example, a streaming application generates a content item for live streaming where the content item comprises a plurality of segments. In response to determining that playing of the content item lags behind the live streaming of the content item, the streaming application determines a skippable bit value for a segment that follows the last played segment based on a manifest which includes skippable bit information. If the segment includes a first skippable bit value, requesting data for the segment may be skipped. For a corresponding segment subsequent to the skipped segment, if the corresponding segment includes a second skippable bit, data for the corresponding segment is requested and the corresponding segment is played from a respective network address.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described to selectively stream content based on parental control ratings. A particular frame of a live broadcast of a media asset that is to be transmitted to a first device is identified, and it is determined whether the particular frame of the media asset depicts content associated with a parental control rating. In response to such determination, the particular frame and metadata associated with the particular frame that indicates that the particular frame depicts content associated with the parental control rating may be transmitted to the first device, where the transmittal of the metadata causes the first device to perform an action related to display of the particular frame based on comparing the parental control rating with a local parental control setting.
