摘要： In some embodiments, a method applies a priority to a plurality of surfaces where the plurality of surfaces each include content. Content is displayed from a first portion of a first surface in the interface based on a priority that is applied to the first surface. A second portion of a second surface is obscured by the first surface. The method maintains operation of the second portion of the second surface and receives an interaction from the interface. The display of the interface is adjusted by displaying the second portion of the second surface in the interface in a state based on the maintaining of the operation.

摘要： In some embodiments, a method receives a list of ranked entities for playback. The list of ranked entities being ranked in a first order based on information for a user account. At least a portion of the list of ranked entities is used to determine corresponding channels that are playing the at least the portion of the list of ranked entities. The method rearranges the channels of an electronic programming guide from a sequence to a second order based on the first order for the at least the portion of the list of ranked entities. The channels are displayed in the electronic programming guide based on the second order.

摘要： In some embodiments, a method receives a first request for a first time window and a first position. A first message is sent to indicate a computing device will push content to a client in a stream for a video for a first one or more time windows other than the first time window. The method pushes content for the first time window based on the first position. A second request is received to change from the first position to a second position. The method pushes content for a second time window to the client based on the first position. A second message is sent to indicate the computing device will push content to the client in the stream for a second one or more time windows other than the second time window. The method pushes content for a third time window to the client based on the second position.

摘要： In some embodiments, a method receives a characteristic for media content. A number of entropy slots is determined that is based on the characteristic for the media content. An entropy slot in the media content is where a segment from a first version of the media content or a second version of the media content can be delivered. The method creates the first version of the media content having a first number of segments and creates the second version of the media content having a second number of segments based on the number of entropy slots. The second number of segments that correspond to the number of entropy slots is less than the first number of segments. The first version of the media content and the second version of the media content is output to create different sequences of segments that are attributable to different requests.

摘要： In some embodiments, a method receives a request from a client device. The request includes location information for an update to a media presentation description for a media presentation. The method uses the location information to determine that the client device has not received a first segment based on the location information. The media presentation description is currently sending updates for a second segment. The location information is used to identify that the update to the media presentation description should include the first segment and the second segment. The method sends an instance of the media presentation description that includes update information for the first segment and the second segment to update a stored version of the media presentation description for the client device.

摘要： In some embodiments, a method receives a manifest presentation description for a media presentation. The manifest presentation description includes an opportunity that requires resolution to determine supplemental content for the opportunity. A request to resolve the opportunity is sent where information for the supplemental content that is received from the request is inserted in an instance of the media presentation description. The method stores the information for the supplemental content in association with an identifier for the opportunity. An update to the manifest presentation description is received where the update includes the opportunity. The method retrieves the information for the supplemental content that was stored in association with the identifier for the opportunity and inserts the information for the supplemental content into the instance of the update to the manifest presentation description.

摘要： In some embodiments, a method receives a first set of probabilities mapping a behavior to a user for a set of behaviors in a video delivery system. A first part of a model is used to predict the first set of probabilities. The method receives a second set of probabilities mapping a user to a behavior for a set of users that are using an account on the video delivery system. A second part of the model is used to predict the second set of probabilities. A combined probability is calculated for the set of behaviors and the set of users based on the first set of probabilities and the second set of probabilities. The method updates a second parameter of the second part of the model while keeping a first parameter of the first part of the model fixed and outputs the second parameter of the second part of the model upon determining the training of the model is finished.

摘要： In some embodiments, a method receives a request for an interface. A configuration for the interface includes a plurality of slots that are associated with a plurality of collection pools, wherein each collection pool is configurable with a ranking strategy. The method determines a collection pool for a slot in the interface where the collection pool is associated with a plurality of collections. A collection is received for the slot. The collection is determined by ranking the plurality of collections using a ranking strategy for the collection pool to generate a ranking of the plurality of collections. The method outputs the collection for the collection pool for display in the slot of the interface.

摘要： In some embodiments, a method receives a current encoding stream of a video. A first measurement for a reference encoding stream is selected to measure a quality of the reference encoding stream. The method compares a second measurement of the current encoding stream to the first measurement of the reference encoding stream and outputs whether the current encoding stream is validated based on the comparing.

摘要： In some embodiments, a method determines a reward metric based on feedback for an instance of content. A delivery status for a delivery constraint of the instance of content is applied to the reward metric to generate a constrained reward metric. The method uses the constrained reward metric to train a model. The model is used to select from a plurality of instances of content. One of the plurality of instances of content is selected for delivery using the model.
