Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying content based on event monitoring are disclosed herein. Control circuitry plays a delayed portion of a live content stream via a primary display window. The control circuitry detects an event in the live content stream and plays the event via a secondary display window overlaid upon the primary display window. The control circuitry determines whether to modify an aspect of a secondary display window based on the event and modifies the aspect of the secondary display window based on a result of the determining.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for adjusting a size of a buffer based on a probability that a rewind request will be received during a currently playing segment of media. When the system determines that receiving a rewind request is likely, the system will increase the size of a buffer such that the rewind request can be accommodated using data from the buffer. When the system determines that receiving a rewind request is unlikely, the system will decrease the size of the buffer to free resources for other system components.

Abstract: Systems and methods for addressing a corrupted segment in a media asset. The media guidance application determines that a segment of a media asset is corrupted. The media guidance application determines whether a retrieval period to retrieve an uncorrupted copy of the segment exceeds a threshold period. If the retrieval period does not exceed the threshold period, the media guidance application retrieves and generates for display the uncorrupted copy of the segment. If the retrieval period exceeds the threshold period, the media guidance application determines whether an importance level of the corrupted segment exceeds a threshold level. If the importance level exceeds the threshold level, the media guidance application generates for display a summary for the corrupted segment. If the importance level does not exceed the threshold level, the media guidance application generates for display the subsequent segment and the summary for the corrupted segment in an overlay.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a media guidance application that enhances the viewing experiences of users consuming media having important content. If a user is prevented from viewing media having important content that will be displayed eminently, the media having the important content may be displayed on a second device. For example, in this manner, a user will not inadvertently miss content from a movie or sports game right before an important scene in the movie or an important play in the sports game is displayed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for detecting that a given segment in a media asset currently being consumed will be interrupted by an event and, responsively, modifying playback of the media asset such that either the start time or the end time of the given segment coincides with the start time of the interrupting event. Modifying playback of the media asset to cause the end time of the given segment to coincide with the start time of the interrupting event may entail fast-forwarding through or removing one or more segments from the playback of the media asset. Modifying playback of the media asset to cause the start time of the given segment to coincide with the start time of the interrupting event may entail inserting one or more segments of secondary content into the playback of the media asset.

Abstract: Methods and systems that provide an interactive media guidance application having a locked mode for viewing media assets. In the locked mode, the interactive media guidance application may provide media assets suited to a certain audience. The interactive media guidance application may determine suitable media assets for the locked mode based on media assets viewed by other users having characteristics similar to the user of the interactive media guidance application. In the locked mode, the interactive media guidance application may allow access to only certain media assets and/or limit the time period for which the media assets are presented.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing a user with a segment of content where the segment includes a given actor and where quality of acting of the given actor in the segment matches a user specified quality of acting. The user specified level of acting associated with the actor may be below a threshold level of acting that is required for a given level of acting to be categorized as good acting. The media guidance application may determine a media asset in which the user specified actor plays a leading role. The media guidance application may then determine a segment of the media asset in which the actor appears and in which a level of acting associated with the actor matches the user specified level of acting. The media guidance application may generate for display the segment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for resolving conflicts between paths of smart vehicles based on time remaining in media assets being consumed in the smart vehicles. For example, two smart vehicles may be traveling along routes that conflict (e.g., they will converge at a particular point in the routes and collide). In order to resolve the conflict, one vehicle is instructed to yield to the other vehicle until the path is clear. The vehicles are instructed based on whether one or both vehicles are displaying a media asset (e.g., a movie) to passengers, and the amount of time left in the media asset compared to the amount of time left until the vehicles reach their destinations.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for presenting an alternate media content source. A first media content source, on which presentation of a media asset began at a second time, is selected at a first time later than the second time. A program listings database is searched for a second media content source presenting the media asset. The media guidance application may generate for display the media asset transmitted over the second media content source instead of the first media content source.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for resuming playback of a media content. Media content is provided to the user device. The media content is paused in response to receiving a pause command. A memorability metric associated with a position where the media content was paused is determined. In response to receiving a resume command, the media content is resumed at a position that is earlier in time than the position where the media content was paused. The position where the media content is resumed is based on the memorability metric.
