    Abstract: A bitrate selector on a user device monitors a first stream of a plurality of bitrate media streams of a media file, the first media stream having a first bitrate, these plurality of bitrate media streams comprising a first subset of bitrate media streams including the first media stream and a second subset of bitrate media streams having a bitrate higher than the first bitrate. The bitrate selector calculates an expected download time for a subsequent chunk of the media file in each bitrate media stream of the second subset of bitrate media streams. The bitrate selector selects a bitrate media stream of the second subset of bitrate media streams for the subsequent chunk based on the expected download times and downloads the subsequent chunk from the selected bitrate media stream.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for presenting content based on a generic rating are provided. In some implementations, the method comprises: receiving search results; determining country-specific content ratings associated with the search results; converting the country-specific content ratings to generic content ratings associated with the search results; determining that at least one search result is to be blocked based on the generic content ratings and a user-selected generic content rating restriction; in response to determining that a search result is to be blocked, removing the search result from the search results to create modified search results; causing the modified search results to be presented; receiving a selection of content from the presented search results; determining a country-specific content rating associated with the selected content; converting the country-specific content rating to a generic content rating; determining that the selected content is not to be blocked based on the generic content rating and the user-selected generic content rating restriction; and causing the selected content to be presented.
