Abstract: A method for generating ad hoc video stream channels is implemented on at least one computing device and includes: receiving a multiplicity of incoming user video feeds, where schedules for the incoming user video feeds are unknown; classifying the multiplicity of incoming user video feeds according to at least a genre; selecting at least one incoming video feed from among the multiplicity of incoming user video feeds for inclusion in at least one video stream channel, where the selecting is according to selection criteria, and the selection criteria are based at least on the classifying; generating at least one outgoing video stream for the at least one video stream channel according to the selecting; and delivering the at least one outgoing video stream to presentation devices.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for controlling access to media content includes defining a viewing profile for at least one viewing user according to a multiplicity of attributes associated with the media content, assigning allowable limits to the multiplicity of attributes in the viewing profile, where each of the allowable limits indicates a rating limit for one of the multiplicity of attributes, receiving attribute ratings associated with a media content item, where each of the attribute ratings is associated with one of the multiplicity of attributes, determining viewing permissibility for the media content item by the at least one viewing user by comparing the attribute ratings with the allowable limits, and based on the viewing permissibility, allowing or disallowing the at least one viewing user to view the media content item..
