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 are described to address shortcomings in the conventional network storage systems via novel techniques to store offsets of a recorded program in a network digital video recorder (DVR). Storing offsets of a recorded program may be beneficial to users that would like to record media content that is broadcast either prior to a start time of a program, or media content that is broadcast after an end time of a program. This feature may be useful when start times and end times of a program are variable (e.g., in the case of sporting events, or other real-time events). This feature may also be useful for recording content of interest that is scheduled for broadcast prior to a start time of or after an end time of the program.

Abstract: Systems and methods for updating advertisements embedded in a media asset scheduled for download at a future time. The media guidance application may receive a request from a user to download a media asset at a future time, where the media asset includes a plurality of embedded advertisements. The media guidance application may determine whether to update an embedded advertisement in the plurality of embedded advertisements. After determining to update the embedded advertisement, the media guidance application may replace the embedded advertisement with an updated advertisement in the media asset.

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: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for adaptive storage and scheduling of media assets. A user may request a media guidance application, which may be implemented at a set-top box of user equipment, to record or store a series of media assets relating to a participant of interest. The media guidance application may forwardly record a first set of scheduled media assets relating to a participant of interest of a user and backwardly download a second set of stored media assets relating to the participant of interest from a cloud storage server to a local storage unit at user equipment, and then download the stored media assets for watching.
