Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a system for ranking videos. Videos are identified that have been presented at client devices. For each video, session start data is identified that specifies a lead video that initiated presentation to a user during a presentation session. For each lead video, presentation times over multiple user sessions are determined, a scaled presentation time is obtained, user sessions for which the lead video initiated presentation of videos are identified, and an aggregate video presentation time attributable to the lead video is determined. For each given video, a presentation score is determined based on a scaled presentation time of the lead video relative to a sum of the aggregate video presentation times for the lead videos. The videos are ranked based on the presentation scores. A user interface is updated to present the ranked videos.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a first platform to incorporate context of a post from a second platform into a first user interface of the first platform. A system includes a processor that receives, via a post displayed in a second user interface of the second platform, a request for a media content item referenced in the post in the second user interface, the second user interface comprising one or more user interface elements and one or more controls. The processor identifies the one or more user interface elements and one or more controls displayed in the second user interface of the second platform, and provides the one or more controls and at least one of the one or more user interface elements of the post displayed in the second user interface for presentation within the first user interface of the first platform. Further, upon election of one of the one or more controls, the processor causes a user to be presented with the post within the second user interface.

Abstract: Implementations disclose a handoff feature for a content sharing platform. A method includes maintaining a session history of a session that occurred at a first client device, the session history identified by a visit identifier (ID) and comprising a set of recently consumed content items on a content sharing platform, determining that a user associated with the session is active on a second client device, transmitting, to the second client device, a session continuation notification associated with the visit ID and a navigation end-point of the session, receiving, from the second client device, a request for a content item corresponding to the navigation end-point of the session, and transmitting, to the second client device, instructions to load the content item and to request additional components of the content item using the visit ID.

Abstract: This document describes, among other things, systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for using information about how long various videos were presented at client devices to determine subsequent video recommendations and search results. In some implementations, a computing can include a modeling apparatus, a front-end server, a request manager, one or more video file storage devices, a video selector, or a combination of some or all of these. The video selector can select video content for a particular digitized video among a plurality of digitized videos to serve to a computing device responsive to a request. The selection can be based at least in part on how long the particular digitized video has been presented at client devices associated with users having characteristics that match one or more characteristics of the user that submitted the request for video content, as indicated by the modeling apparatus.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for indicating viewership of a video are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: identifying a video; identifying a first group of users; determining an affinity score for each user with the identified video; receiving a request to present a page that includes a representation of the video; identifying a second group of users connected to the first user associated with the user device; determining a viewership status of each user in the second group of users corresponding to the video; identifying a subset of users in the second group of users based at least in part on the viewership status; and causing groups of indicators to be presented on the user device, wherein each indicator in the groups of indicators represents the viewership status of the user, and wherein the indicators are presented on the requested page in connection with the representation of the video.

Abstract: The technology disclosed herein may enable ranking comments based on the influence of the author. An example method may involve obtaining a plurality of comments associated with a media item, wherein the media item is provided by a first entity and at least one of the plurality of comments is provided by a second entity; determining, by a processing device, an attribution score of the second entity, the attribution score being based on a number of entities that engage with the media item using a sharing message of the second entity; determining, by the processing device, rankings for one or more of the plurality of comments based on the attribution score of the second entity; and providing the media item and at least a first comment and a second comment of the plurality of comments to be displayed in an order based on the rankings.

Abstract: A user device receives a first media item that is associated with a second media item. The device determines that a playback state for the device indicates that the device is paired with an alternative playback device. The device sends the playback state in a request for the second media item, receives the second media item in a first format for playback on the user device and in a second format for playback on the alternative playback device. The device determines whether the playback state of the device is the same. The device displays a first graphical representation of the second media item in the first format on the user device if the user device is no longer paired with the alternative playback device and displays a second graphical representation of the second media item in the second format on the user device if the user device is still paired with the alternative playback device.

Abstract: Identifier dependent operation processing of packet based data communication is provided. A natural language processor component can parse an input audio signal to identify a request and a trigger keyword. A content selector component can select, based on the request or trigger keyword, a content item. A link generation component can determine whether the client computing device has an account or a record in a database associated with the service provider device. In the absence of the record or account, the link generation device generates and sends a virtual identifier to the service provider device with instructions to generate an account in the database using the virtual identifier. Once the account is created, the service provider device can communicate with the client computing device.

Abstract: A method for navigating a list of media items on a client device includes providing a playlist portion of one or more playlist portions of a user interface (UI) of an application, wherein the playlist portion of the UI provides a list of media items streamable to the application in a first playlist of one or more playlists, receiving an indication of a gesture made by a user with respect to the playlist, identifying a location associated with the gesture, determining that the gesture location is in an area covering the playlist portion, in response to determining that the gesture is a swipe left gesture, navigating media items of the playlist in a forward direction, in response to determining that the gesture is a swipe right gesture, navigating media items of the playlist in a backward direction, and updating a viewing state associated with the first playlist based on the navigating.
