    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided to automatically identify advertisements or other portions of a broadcast television stream before the stream is distributed via a cable, DBS, IPTV or other medium. The television broadcast is received at the data processing system, and audio content of the television broadcast is analyzed to generate an audio fingerprint of a portion of the audio content. The identified audio fingerprint are compared to audio fingerprints stored in a database to thereby identify the portion of the television broadcast based on the generated audio fingerprint. By identifying the contents of an actual broadcast prior to redistribution of the broadcast, additional actions may be taken that are unique to the identified content.

    Abstract: Various systems, methods and devices adaptively manage the multicast delivery of multiple media programs. Each of the media programs is encoded into multiple media streams, each stream having a different bitrate, frame rate, resolution or other encoding parameter. A computer receives feedback about the delivery of the multiple streams and automatically adapts the number of streams available for at least one of the multiple media programs in response to the received feedback. This allows resources to be applied to those multicast streams having the greatest user demand.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described to proactively adapt media streaming by a number of media player clients over the Internet or another data network. Each media player requests segments of an adaptive media stream for playback to a viewer. In some implementations, some or all of the media players in the system are able to measure packet loss or other indicia of issues with the data transmission. This indicia can be used to adapt subsequent requests for additional segments of the media stream. Moreover, some implementations could provide the measured packet loss or other indicia back to the server as feedback. The server, in turn, can use the feedback from the players (along with any other additional information) to formulate business rules that can be subsequently delivered to some or all of the players in the system. The media players can therefore adapt their segment request based upon locally measured data and/or based upon business rules that reflect system-wide conditions.

    Abstract translation: 描述了方法,系统和设备以主动地适应多个媒体播放器客户端通过因特网或另一个数据网络进行媒体流传输。 每个媒体播放器请求适合媒体流的片段以便播放给观众。 在一些实现中,系统中的一些或全部媒体播放器能够测量数据丢失或数据传输问题的其他标记。 该标记可以用于适应媒体流的附加段的后续请求。 此外,一些实现可以将测量的分组丢失或其他标记提供给服务器作为反馈。 服务器又可以使用来自玩家的反馈(以及任何其他附加信息)来制定可以随后传递给系统中的一些或所有玩家的业务规则。 因此,媒体播放器可以基于本地测量数据和/或基于反映系统范围条件的业务规则来适应其分段请求。

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for estimating packet loss during media streaming over a data connection. A media player requests segments of an adaptive media stream and monitors variance in the amounts of data received. Increased variance in the amounts of data received can be directly correlated to a higher packet loss experienced by the data connection. The media player can use the estimated packet loss to adapt subsequent segment requests, or to otherwise subsequent behavior by the media player.
