Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a media content processor having a controller adapted to detect an event associated with recorded media content derived from one among a plurality of media content sources, select a communication device of a subscriber of the media content processor, retrieve a portion of the recorded media content, generate a notice describing the event, and transmit the notice with the portion of the recorded media content to the communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A media content processor, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- detecting an event associated with recorded media content derived from one of a plurality of media content sources;
- selecting a communication device of a subscriber of the media content processor;
- retrieving a portion of the recorded media content;
- transcoding the portion of the recorded media content according to the communication device;
- generating a notice describing the event;
- and
- transmitting the notice with the portion of the recorded media content to the communication device.
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, responsive to being executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- requesting presence information for a subscriber to a media content provider;
- identifying a communication device of the subscriber according to the presence information;
- generating a notice describing recorded content based on media content that is received from the media content provider;
- and
- transmitting the notice and the recorded content to the communication device.
A method, comprising:
- selecting, by a system comprising a processor, a communication device associated with a subscriber of a media content source, wherein the communication device is selected according to presence information associating the subscriber to the communication device responsive to a recording event associated with media content;
- transcoding, by the system, a recording of the media content according to a capability of the communication device to generate transcoded content;
- and
- transmitting, by the system, a notice and the transcoded content to the communication device.
