Abstract
One or more aspects of the subject disclosure are directed towards providing video content that was generated during the playing of a video game to subsequent game players. Event metadata is generated during game play, while video content (e.g., a clip or clips) of that game play is generated. The event metadata is associated with the video content. Thereafter, the video content may be located by a search based upon the associated metadata.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising, receiving event metadata corresponding to game play for which a video is generated, locating video-related metadata of the video, and associating at least some of the event metadata with the video-related metadata of the video.
A system comprising, a video and event metadata connector, the video and event metadata connector configured to associate metadata events corresponding to video game play with video content generated during that game play, and a video locator, the video locator configured to query for one or more video identifiers that match a request for video content based upon event metadata that is associated with the video content by the video and event metadata connector.
One or more machine-readable storage media or logic having executable instructions, which when executed perform steps, comprising receiving a request for video content that was generated during the playing of a video game, searching for the video content based upon on or more search criteria provided via the request and event metadata that was produced during playing of the video game, and returning one or more video identifiers of video having event metadata that matches the one or more search criteria in response to the request.
