Meta Channel Based Media System Control Technology

A method of controlling a media system based on meta-channel information, the method comprising:

• storing, in electronic storage, meta-channel information defining multiple meta-channels that identify content entries and that indicate an order with which to experience the content entries;
• receiving, from a particular user, a selection of a meta-channel included in the multiple meta-channels defined by the meta-channel information;
• accessing, from the electronic storage, meta-channel information corresponding to the selected meta-channel;
• based on the accessed meta-channel information corresponding to the selected meta-channel, determining that the selected meta-channel defines a dynamically configurable content entry that maps to multiple possible content entries;
• accessing preferences of the particular user;
• selecting, from among the multiple possible content entries, a single content entry for the dynamically configurable content entry based on the accessed preferences of the particular user;
• and
• controlling a media system to render content based on the selected content entry.
