Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for providing one or more streams of digital content to a user. A request for content may be received by a video content provider from a client device. Digital content may be determined by the video content provider, encoded in a stream, and transmitted to the client device. The digital content may be determined based at least in part on a user and/or the client device requesting the digital content.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code executable by at least one computing device, wherein the computer-readable program code, when executed, causes the at least one computing device to:
- access a request received from a client device over a network to initiate a personalized media session in a client application executable on the client device, the request comprising a designation of a first media channel;
- determine a plurality of media titles based at least in part on data corresponding to a user of the client application and the designation of the first media channel;
- encode at least one preview corresponding to at least one of the plurality of media titles into a first media stream;
- cause a transmission of the first media stream to the client device over the network;
- and
- cause a transition from the transmission of the first media stream to a transmission of a second media stream associated with a second media channel in response to a change request received from the client device, the second media stream comprising at least one different preview associated with a plurality of different media titles determined based at least in part on the data corresponding to the user and a designation of the second media channel, the change request generated in response to a manipulation of a change channel component performed via the client application.

A system, comprising:
- at least one computing device;
- and
- an application executable in the at least one computing device, the application comprising instructions that, when executed, cause that least one computing device to:
- determine a plurality of media titles based at least in part on data corresponding to a user of a client application performing a personalized media session and a designation of a first media channel caused by the user;
- encode at least one preview corresponding to at least one of the plurality of media titles into a first media stream;
- cause a transmission of the first media stream to a client device executing the client application over a network;
- and
- cause a transition from the transmission of the first media stream to a transmission of a second media stream associated with a second media channel in response to a change request received from the client device, the second media stream comprising at least one different preview associated with a plurality of different media titles determined based at least in part on the data corresponding to the user and a designation of the second media channel, the change request generated in response to a manipulation of a user interface component performed in the client application.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- determining, by at least one computing device, a plurality of media titles based at least in part on data corresponding to a user of a client application performing a personalized media session and a designation of a first media channel caused by the user;
- encoding, by the at least one computing device, at least one preview corresponding to at least one of the plurality of media titles into a first media stream;
- causing, by the at least one computing device, a transmission of the first media stream to a client device executing the client application over a network;
- and
- causing, by the at least one computing device, a transition from the transmission of the first media stream to a transmission of a second media stream associated with a second media channel in response to a change request received from the client device, the second media stream comprising at least one different preview associated with a plurality of different media titles determined based at least in part on the data corresponding to the user and a designation of the second media channel, the change request generated in response to a manipulation of a user interface component performed in the client application.
