    摘要: In some aspects, control circuitry receives and stores a user-specified time duration to associate with a skip-forward command. When the user later issues a skip-forward command to advance playback of a media asset to a desired location, the control circuitry retrieves the stored time duration, and determines an expected overshoot value associated with the skip-forward command. The control circuitry then compensates for the expected overshoot by calculating a new location in the media asset based on both the retrieved time duration and expected overshoot value.
    Upon advancing to the new location, the media asset is played back in a fast-forward mode, e.g., at a speed higher than normal speed.

    摘要: Methods, systems, computer readable media, and apparatuses for providing enhanced content are presented. Data including a first program, a first caption stream associated with the first program, and a second caption stream associated with the first program may be received. The second caption stream may be extracted from the data, and a second program may be encoded with the second caption stream. The first program may be transmitted with the first caption stream including first captions and may include first content configured to be played back at a first speed. In response to receiving an instruction to change play back speed, the second program may be transmitted with the second caption stream. The second program may include the first content configured to be played back at a second speed different from the first speed, and the second caption stream may include second captions different from the first captions.

    摘要: Techniques are described for automatically adaptive playback speed for media playback. In an embodiment, media data is received, which is associated with multimedia to be rendered at an original capture speed on a multimedia player on a computing device. A content density index value for a particular portion of the multimedia is determined, the content density index value representing a rate of content within the particular portion that a user of the multimedia player has to comprehend. Based on the content density index value for the particular portion, a new speed is determined for rendering the portion of the multimedia. The new speed may be stored associated with the portion of the multimedia for rendering the portion of the multimedia at the new speed that is different from the original speed.
