Abstract: An exemplary system for cloud-based media content transcoding includes a local media content server that records a media content program, divides the media content program into a plurality of program segments, generates a program segment playlist including pointers to the plurality of program segments, receives a request for a media content playback device to download the media content program, and transmits the program segment playlist to the media content playback device. The program segment playlist directs the media content playback device to request and download transcoded versions of the program segments from a cloud-based transcoding system located remotely from the local media content server. The cloud-based transcoding system accesses the program segments from the local media content server, and generates and transmits the transcoded versions of the program segments to the media content playback device.

Abstract: A device may provide information identifying one or more items of content stored by a home media client. The device may receive a request for content, of the one or more items of content, stored by the home media client. The home media client may store a first copy of the content. The device may identify a second copy of the content based on the request for the content. The second copy of the content may be stored by a storage device of a content delivery network or may be stored by the home media client without being stored by the storage device of the content delivery network. The device may cause the second copy of the content to be provided via the content delivery network as a response to the request regardless of whether the second copy of the content is stored by the storage device of the content delivery network or by the home media client.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium stores executable instructions to provide a program service; predict whether a disruption in the program service is to occur; generate and transmit a message, which indicates a predicted disruption of the program service, to user devices; switch to another program device, by the user devices, to receive the program service; transmit another message to the user device when the disruption is over. Additionally, a method, a device, and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium stores executable instructions to provide a failure over service that informs other user devices that an in-home server device is down, and a backup service that includes storing program service data, which includes recorded programs and user settings, on the in-home server device and a cloud device. The backup service also includes a recovery service that restores the program service data when the in-home server device is replaced.

Abstract: A server device may receive a playback request that identifies particular content, a first segment file associated with the particular content, and a playback speed; and generate a playlist based on receiving the playback request. When generating the playlist, the server device may determine one or more second segment files, associated with the particular content, based on the playback speed and the first segment file; determine, based on the playback speed, a sequence in which the first segment file and the one or more second segment files should be played; and generate a list identifying the first segment file and the one or more second segment files. The list may be sorted based on the sequence. The one or more second segment files may be listed subsequent to the first second file. The server device may store or output the playlist.

Abstract: Content, such as video content, may be encoded using encoders that are installed at encoding devices of customers of a telecommunications provider. In one implementation, a server device may maintain presence information relating to an operational state of a number of set-top boxes installed at customer residences; receive an indication of content that is to be encoded; and select a set-top box, of the set-top boxes, to encode the segment, the set-top box being selected based on the operational state of the set-top boxes. The server may further transmit, to the selected set-top box, instructions to initiate encoding of the content and to provide an encoding format for the content; and update the presence information to reflect a result of encoding of the content by the selected set-top box.
