Abstract: A routing device determines data associating commands with devices connected to a local area network (LAN). The routing device receives a request for execution of a particular command and identifies a particular device to execute the particular command based on the command data. The routing device generates an instruction message that causes the particular device to execute the particular command, and the routing device forwards the instruction message to the particular device via the LAN. The request may be received via a wide area network (WAN), and the request may include an address for the routing device on the WAN. When generating the instruction message, the routing device may replace, in the request, the address for the routing device with an address associated with the particular device. The instruction message may further include parameters associated with execution of the particular command by the particular device.

Abstract: Content, such as video content, may be encoded using encoders that are installed at encoding devices of customers of a telecommunications provider. In one implementation, a server device may maintain presence information relating to an operational state of a number of set-top boxes installed at customer residences; receive an indication of content that is to be encoded; and select a set-top box, of the set-top boxes, to encode the segment, the set-top box being selected based on the operational state of the set-top boxes. The server may further transmit, to the selected set-top box, instructions to initiate encoding of the content and to provide an encoding format for the content; and update the presence information to reflect a result of encoding of the content by the selected set-top box.

Abstract: A first media client may set a parental control feature of the first media client to a first setting. The first media client may determine an occurrence of an event associated with the parental control feature. The first media client may determine a second setting of a parental control feature of a second media client. The second media client may be different from the first media client. The first media client may determine that the second setting is a more restrictive setting relative to the first setting. The first media client may set the parental control feature of the first media client to the second setting based on the occurrence of the event and based on the second setting being the more restrictive setting.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium stores executable instructions to provide a program service; predict whether a disruption in the program service is to occur; generate and transmit a message, which indicates a predicted disruption of the program service, to user devices; switch to another program device, by the user devices, to receive the program service; transmit another message to the user device when the disruption is over. Additionally, a method, a device, and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium stores executable instructions to provide a failure over service that informs other user devices that an in-home server device is down, and a backup service that includes storing program service data, which includes recorded programs and user settings, on the in-home server device and a cloud device. The backup service also includes a recovery service that restores the program service data when the in-home server device is replaced.
