Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying video content having a scheduled broadcast time during a first viewing period that satisfies a viewership threshold and facilitating a transfer of the video content to a multimedia storage device. The video content is transferred to the multimedia storage device during a second viewing period prior to the first viewing period. The video content includes the data to prevent the multimedia storage device from sending the video content to another device prior to the time when the program is scheduled to be broadcast. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a server, a data transmission of video content destined for a data storage device. The method includes generating, by the server, a content signature by application of a wavelet transform to a plurality of frames of a time sequence of frames of the video content. The method includes selecting, by the server based on content metadata for the video content, particular prohibited content signatures from a plurality of prohibited content signatures. Each prohibited content signature of the particular prohibited content signatures corresponds to a wavelet transform of a plurality of frames of prohibited content. The method also includes, in response to a first determination that a first prohibited content signature of the particular prohibited content signatures matches the content signature, preventing transmission of the video content from the server to the data storage device.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a media request for a target device. The signaling information may be received from the target device and a media server. At least one attribute of the target device and the media server may be identified using the signaling information. At least one attribute of the target device and the media server may be evaluated against a service level objective to select a media format. The service level objective may include consideration of the target device and available bandwidth over a provider network. The media may be provided in the selected media format over the provider network to the target device.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a processor of a network device, data packets to be communicated to a multicast destination. The method includes recording, with the network device, performance data associated with the data packets, where the performance data is associated with a performance metric. The method includes determining, with the processor, a trend based on the performance data. The method also includes sending a warning from the processor to a performance server based on the trend satisfying a condition.
