Abstract
Images may be periodically captured from each of a plurality of content streams comprising programs. Each of the content streams may be associated with capture parameters. The capture parameters may include information on how frequently images from the stream may be captured. The captured images may be made available to various clients for various uses, such as for display of a schedule of available programs.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- sending, by a first computing device and to a second computing device, a request to change a first capture frequency, associated with a first content asset, to a new capture frequency without changing a second capture frequency associated with a second content asset;
- receiving a first captured image corresponding to the first content asset and captured at the new capture frequency;
- receiving a second captured image corresponding to the second content asset and captured at the second capture frequency;
- and
- causing output of the first captured image and the second captured image.

A first computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first computing device to:
- send, to a second computing device, a request to change a first capture frequency, associated with a first content asset, to a new capture frequency without changing a second capture frequency associated with a second content asset;
- receive a first captured image corresponding to the first content asset and captured at the new capture frequency;
- receive a second captured image corresponding to the second content asset and captured at the second capture frequency;
- and
- cause output of the first captured image and the second captured image.

A method comprising:
- causing, by a first computing device, output of a content asset listing comprising a plurality of captured images corresponding to a plurality of content assets;
- sending, to a second computing device, a request to change a first capture frequency, associated with a first content asset of the plurality of content assets, to a new capture frequency without changing a second capture frequency associated with a second content asset of the plurality of content assets;
- and
- causing updating of the plurality of captured images output in the content asset listing, wherein newest captured images of the first content asset and the second content asset are updated at different frequencies.
