Abstract: Separate user accounts can be linked into a group of linked user accounts so that content items assigned to each of the user accounts can be accessed by each user account in the group. Linking user accounts in this way allows the individual user accounts to share content items while also retaining their individual properties such as username, password, preference data, etc. Linking user accounts allows each user account to retain the content items assigned to the user account when the user account is unlinked from the group. Linking user accounts can be restricted according to linking rules that dictate how many user accounts can be included in a group, when a user account can be added or removed from a group, etc. A master user account can set parameters restricting content items accessible to the user accounts in the group, as well as money spent be each user account.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products are disclosed for encoding digital media for fast start on digital media players. In some implementations, a set of frames at the beginning of a digital media file or stream are encoded at a first bitrate (e.g., a constant low bitrate), and subsequent frames of the digital file or stream are encoded at a second, bitrate that may be higher than the first bitrate.
