Abstract: Various embodiments are described for skipping, filtering, or replacing content from an audio/video stream using text data associated with the stream, wherein the stream has segments of a show interspersed with commercial breaks. A method for processing the stream determines that a commercial break is currently being output for presentation, and monitors for receipt of a user-initiated command to skip the commercial break. When a user-initiated skip command is received during the commercial break, the method automatically skips to a location in the stream that is at or near an end of the commercial break, and seamlessly continues presentation of the stream from that location. If a skip command is not received during output of the commercial break, then output of the current commercial break continues as usual. This methodology is repeated for all subsequent commercial breaks in the stream.

Abstract: A request to play a second item of media content is received while playing a first item of media content. A determination is made whether a location for resuming play of the second item of media content is stored. If a location for resuming play of the second item of media content is stored, play of the second item of media content is resumed at the location in the second item of media content. If a location for resuming play of the second item of media content is not stored, play of the second item of media content is begun at a current location in the second item of media content.
