Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for detecting information that indicates that a user will be traveling from a first geographic location to a second geographic location, and responsively accessing a playlist indicated by a profile of the user that indicates a plurality of streaming media that the user intends to consume. Control circuitry may then compare data corresponding to each streaming media of the plurality of streaming media to a database to determine whether each streaming media of the plurality of streaming media is accessible to the user at the second geographic location, and may determine that a subset of the plurality of media is not accessible to the user at the second geographic location. In response to determining that the subset is not accessible to the user at the second geographic location, the control circuitry may download each media of the subset.

Abstract: Systems and methods to address shortcomings in conventional systems that traditionally provide interactive television services. In some aspects, the systems and methods provide for a method for managing an interactive session in an interactive media guidance application. The interactive media guidance application receives a user selection of a media asset. The interactive media guidance application stores, in a buffer, an advertisement received during display of the media asset. The interactive media guidance application receives a user request to initiate an interactive session. The interactive media guidance application analyzes the buffer for information relating to the advertisement based on the user request to initiate the interactive session. The interactive media guidance application receives a user request for information in the interactive session. The interactive media guidance application generates for display the information relating to the advertisement based on the user request for information relating to the advertisement.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for enabling a plurality of users in a closed environment, such as an environment where users cannot access or have limited access to the Internet, to share media while retaining ownership rights to their media, and while ensuring that processing power of their devices is not unduly burdened by the sharing. For example, users may be able to establish a group, and may be able to transfer media amongst one another. The system described herein may recommend content using not only what is stored on the user's device, but also content stored on devices of other users of the established group. Access controls may be implemented to ensure that the media is returned to its rightful owner at the end of a viewing, and to ensure that a user's viewing plans are not interrupted by the desires of another user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for generating and providing a playlist of content relevant to a user that is to be played back instead of advertisement content. In some embodiments, a media guidance application may access a profile of a user, and may generate a playlist comprising a plurality of program content based on data of the profile. The media guidance application may determine that advertisement content is imminently to be played back to the user, and, in response to determining that the advertisement content is imminently to be played back to the user, the media guidance application may select program content of the playlist to play back instead of the advertisement content, and generate for display the program content.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described ensuring that a user will be able to consume selected media content in its entirety. In particular, a media guidance application described herein determines an amount of time (102) required to reach a destination (116) and compares this time to an amount of time required to consume media content (104). If the amount of time (104) exceeds the amount of time (102) required to reach the destination, it calculates a route (120) for a current trip in which the length of time required to traverse a calculated route corresponds to the play length of the selected media asset.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided herein for generating notifications based on the interests of guests. Guests may request notifications on their host's television, and the system will generate notifications based on the guest's interests and preferences as stored in the guest's user profile. In doing so, the guest will be notified of events of interest, such as when a favorite sports team scores a point or when an important scene in a favorite movie is playing. The system monitors the network of the apartment or house and detects when a guest device is accessing the network. The system then accesses the guest's interests and identifies a set of programs based on these interests. The system then monitors these programs and generates notifications on the display device when an event of interest has occurred in one of the identified programs.
