    摘要: Techniques are described for managing various types of content and devices, such as via a user interface of a Content Management (“CM”) system executing on a computing device. In some situations, the content being managed includes television-related programming content and/or other types of content (e.g., one or more channels of scheduled digital music and/or on-demand digital music, photos and other images, etc.). In some situations, the content managing is performed via a mobile device (e.g., a smartphone or other cellular telephone, PDA or other electronic organizer, etc.) via a CM system user interface displayed on the mobile device, such as to allow a user of the mobile device to access some or all of the functionality of the CM system that would otherwise be available via a CM system GUI displayed on a general-purpose personal computer, as well as to synchronize with such a GUI in various ways.

    摘要: A content management (CM) system is provided to centrally control operation of one or more connected devices by issuing control requests and/or data requests. In some situations the connected device(s) include devices that control presentation of television programming-related content, such as digital video recorder (“DVR”) devices and media center devices, and in other situations may include other types of media devices and/or other electromechanical (“E/M”) devices that may be centrally controlled, such as E/M devices for home automation that may operate independently or in conjunction with the media devices. In some situations, the CM system communicates with the connected devices via a network and using appropriate protocol(s), and may be accessed remotely via a network so as to allow a user to remotely operate the CM system. The CM system may further control searching, identification, selection, and presentation of pieces of media content by the connected device(s).

    摘要: Techniques are described for managing various types of content and devices, such as via a GUI of a Content Management (“CM”) system executing on a computing device. In some situations, some of the content being managed includes television-related programming content, with the CM system receiving EPG metadata information for the content, and other types of content (e.g., one or more channels of scheduled digital music and/or on-demand digital music, photos and other images, etc.) may similarly be managed in some situations. In some situations, the managing of the content includes manipulating and presenting groups of one or more pieces (or “items”) of content via the GUI, such as by creating and managing playlists of pieces of television-related and other multimedia content. Such playlists may in some situations include a mixture of multiple distinct types of content, and may be used in various ways for content presentation and device control.
