摘要： Exemplary embodiments involve a mediation application executed on a processor determining one or more digital programming insertion breaks in a linear media stream. The linear media stream can include electronic content delivered over a network at a time determined by the content provider. The mediation application can determine that a plurality of clients identified by a common group identifier and in communication with the mediation application are receiving the linear media stream. The mediation application can mediate a plurality of requests for digital programming insertion content provided by a digital programming insertion content provider by identifying digital programming insertion content targeted to the common group identifier. The mediation application can provide the digital programming insertion content during the one or more digital programming insertion breaks to the plurality of clients.

摘要： In general, in one aspect, streaming content is received from a server. A condition indicative of a cycle of switching versions of the streaming content during playback of the streaming content is determined at a client-side application, the versions having different resolutions requiring different network and processing resources. In response to the determined condition, up-switching to a stream version having a bit rate that meets or exceeds a locked out bit rate is prevented. The prevented up-switching is allowed after expiration of a predetermined condition.

摘要： In general, in one aspect, streaming content is received from a server, the streaming content being stored and queued for client-side playback from the server. Information about the streaming content is received. A virtual current duration of the streaming content is determined at a client-side application based on the information about the streaming content. A timeline control is generated based on the determined virtual duration, the timeline control presenting a representation of the virtual duration and allowing navigation forward and backward in the streaming content. The timeline control is displayed at the client-side display device.
