摘要: Methods and system for content delivery, access, and storage are disclosed. In one aspect, an example method can comprise receiving a content item. The content item can comprise a plurality of fragments. An example method can comprise determining an identifier for each of the plurality of fragments, and generating an index file comprising the determined identifiers. An example method can comprise associating the index file with the content item. Additionally, an example method can comprise storing the content item and the index file. An example method can also comprise performing a de-duplication operation. For example, the de-duplication operation can be performed on one or more unique files to create a master file.

摘要: A network digital video recording (nDVR) system may take into account the capabilities of a requesting user's local DVR when managing network recordings. The user's local DVR may include a temporary buffer that is normally used to record what the DVR is tuned to, and may be used for local trickplay functionality such as pausing live television. The nDVR features described herein may track the usage of the user's temporary DVR buffer, and use that in determining what to stream in response to a user's playback request. The nDVR system can also determine if the user's local DVR has an unused tuner at a time of a program recording, and can instruct the user's local DVR to also tune to the program.

摘要: A method, apparatus, and software are provided for using an optically-readable code such as a quick-response (QR) code. The optically-readable code may represent a uniform resource identifier (URI) including parameters that represent a query, such as a query for content and/or other data. The query results may be used to command a content consumption device to record or otherwise obtain an item of content. The optically-readable code may additionally or alternatively be determined based upon a status of the device, such as what content, or portion thereof, is currently being displayed, and/or what error condition is being experienced.
