Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing contextually aware management of resources. Recorded content items are deleted from or added to a storage device depending on the availability of alternate resources sharing the content items and/or other contextual information. For example, if a storage device of a DVR has reached a threshold with respect to a storage capacity and/or other conditions develop, configurations disclosed herein analyze the content items stored in the DVR to determine if the content items are provided by an on-demand resource. If one or more stored content items are available on at least one on-demand resource, the system may delete the one or more content items from the DVR and generate a link to access the one or more content items from the on-demand resource. The link and a description of the one or more content items may then be added to the cross-platform programming playlist.
Abstract translation: 这里描述了用于提供资源的上下文感知管理的技术。 取决于共享内容项和/或其他上下文信息的备用资源的可用性，记录的内容项从存储设备中删除或添加到存储设备。 例如，如果DVR的存储装置已经达到关于存储容量和/或其他条件的阈值，则本文所公开的配置分析存储在DVR中的内容项，以确定是否由内容项提供内容， 需求资源。 如果一个或多个存储的内容项目在至少一个按需资源上可用，则系统可以从DVR中删除一个或多个内容项目，并生成链接以从按需资源访问一个或多个内容项目。 然后可以将链接和一个或多个内容项的描述添加到跨平台编程播放列表。

Abstract: Contextual data, which may describe user activity, preferences and/or a device status, is aggregated from a number of devices and/or resources. Program information is aggregated from several resources including an on-demand resource and other resources, such as a broadcast resource. Configurations disclosed herein utilize the contextual data to select content items to be added to a cross-platform programming playlist, which is configured to invoke viewing sessions from on-demand resources as well as other devices, such as a digital video recorder (DVR). Configurations disclosed herein also utilize the contextual data to determine if the selected content items are to be recorded by a device or accessed from an on-demand resource. In some configurations, recorded content items are deleted from storage depending on the availability of alternate resources sharing the recorded content items and/or other contextual information. Techniques disclosed herein also manage content items to mitigate conflicts with tuners and other devices.
Abstract translation: 可以从多个设备和/或资源聚合可描述用户活动，偏好和/或设备状态的上下文数据。 节目信息从包括点播资源和诸如广播资源的其他资源的若干资源聚合。 本文公开的配置利用上下文数据来选择要添加到跨平台编程播放列表的内容项目，其被配置为从按需资源以及诸如数字录像机（DVR）的其他设备调用观看会话。 本文公开的配置还利用上下文数据来确定所选择的内容项是由设备记录还是从按需资源访问。 在一些配置中，根据共享所记录的内容项和/或其他上下文信息的备用资源的可用性，从存储中删除记录的内容项。 本文公开的技术还管理内容项以减轻与调谐器和其他设备的冲突。

Abstract: A user-specified custom channel includes media content programs having any number of respective program sources. The custom channel has an associated lineup that defines the date/time at which individual media content programs are available via the custom channel. A custom channel may be represented in an electronic program guide, and a custom channel may be published by the user that created the custom channel to make the custom channel available to other users.
Abstract translation: 用户指定的自定义频道包括具有任意数量的相应节目源的媒体内容节目。 自定义频道具有相关联的阵容，其定义通过自定义频道可以获得各个媒体内容节目的日期/时间。 自定义频道可以在电子节目指南中表示，并且可以由创建自定义频道的用户发布自定义频道以使定制频道可用于其他用户。
