    Abstract: Implementations relate to continuation of playback of media content by different devices. In some implementations, a method includes causing a stream of media content data to be received from a stream source and output by a first device to a user, where a portion of the data is buffered on the first device before output. An indication is detected that the user has stopped using the first device for output of the content data. A place marker indicates a portion of the content that is output approximately at the time of the indication. The method causes the stream of content data to be received and output by a second device starting at the place marker portion. The buffered content data is sent from the first device to the second device for output by the second device before unbuffered portions of the content data received from the stream source.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for dynamically selecting a content loading technique are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving a request for third-party content. The actions further include generating a first loading score that reflects a likelihood that a third-party content item that is selected using the first third-party content loading technique will render on a display of the client device. The actions further include generating a second loading score that reflects a likelihood that a third-party content item that is selected using the second third-party content loading technique will render on the display. The actions further include comparing the first and second loading scores. The actions further include selecting the first third-party content loading technique. The actions further include selecting and providing a given third-party content item.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing third-party content can include a data processing system receiving criteria defining online activities of an online activity type related to a product or service context from a computing device of a third-party content provider. The data processing system can identify a cluster of client devices based on the defined online activities, and determine a subset of keywords associated with the defined online activities and the identified cluster of client devices. The data processing system can determine a performance metric of the subset of keywords based on the cluster of client devices, and provide the subset of keywords and the performance metric to the computing device. The data processing system can receive from the computing device a parameter value of a first keyword of the subset of keywords to use in selecting content items of the third-party content provider associated with the first keyword.

    Abstract: A method for reducing bandwidth needed for streaming media content. The method includes identifying, by the streaming media server, a subset of a plurality of media content items having a portion of media data in common and extracting, by the streaming media server, the common portion from a first media content item of the subset; generating, by the streaming media server, a common media package comprising the extracted common portion, providing, by the streaming media server to a client media device, the common media package, and receiving, by the streaming media server from the client media device, a request for an item of content. The method also includes selecting an item of content from the subset; and transmitting, by the streaming media server to the client media device, an identification of the common media package and an identification of a chunk of the selected item of content subsequent to the common portion.

    Abstract: Implementations relate to continuation of playback of media content by different devices. In some implementations, a method includes causing a stream of media content data to be received from a stream source and output by a first device to a user, where a portion of the data is buffered on the first device before output. An indication is detected that the user has stopped using the first device for output of the content data. A place marker indicates a portion of the content that is output approximately at the time of the indication. The method causes the stream of content data to be received and output by a second device starting at the place marker portion. The buffered content data is sent from the first device to the second device for output by the second device before unbuffered portions of the content data received from the stream source.
