Dynamic synchronization tool

A method for synchronizing display of media content with a video timeline, the method comprising:

• receiving a base video stream, wherein the base video stream is streaming from a server;
• displaying a thread window separate from the base video stream, wherein the thread window displays a first thread and a second thread;
• receiving, at the thread window, a selection of the first thread, wherein the first thread includes a first mediatation associated with a first period of a base video timeline;
• receiving a list of one or more mediatations from the first thread, wherein the list of one or more mediatations is separate from the base video stream and separate from the thread window;
• playing the base video stream, including displaying the base video stream;
• when the base video stream reaches the first period of the timeline, displaying the first mediatation separate from the base video stream and separate from the list of one or more mediatations;
• receiving, at the thread window, a selection of the second thread, wherein the second thread includes the second mediatation;
• updating the list of mediatations to reflect the one or more mediatations in the second thread;
• receiving, at the list of mediatations, a selection of a second mediatation, wherein the second mediatation is associated with a second period of the timeline;
• in response to the command to display the second mediatation, advancing the base video stream to the second period of the timeline;
• and
• displaying the second mediatation separate from the base video stream.

A method for synchronizing display of media content with a video timeline, the method comprising:

• streaming a base video stream from a server;
• monitoring a timeline of the base video stream;
• sending a list of one or more threads for display separate from the base video stream, wherein the list of one or more threads comprises a first thread associated a list of one or more mediatations and a second thread associated with a list of one or more mediatations;
• receiving a request for a list of one or more mediatations in the first thread, wherein the one or more mediatations are not incorporated into the base video stream;
• sending the list of one or more mediatations to the client;
• determining a first mediatation from the list of one or more mediations, wherein the first mediatation is associated with a first period in the timeline of the base video stream;
• receiving a request for the first mediatation when the base video stream is in the first period of the timeline;
• sending the first mediatation to the client for display separate from the base video stream, list of mediatations, and the thread window;
• receiving a request to update the list of mediatations with one or more mediatations associated with the second thread;
• and
• sending an updated list of mediatations associated with the second thread for.

A system for synchronizing display of media content with a video timeline, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory, communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and containing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method, the method comprising:
• receiving a base video stream, wherein the base video stream is streaming from a server;
• displaying a thread window separate from the base video stream, wherein the thread window displays a first thread and a second thread;
• receiving, at the thread window, a selection of the first thread, wherein the first thread includes a first mediatation associated with a first period of a base video timeline;
• receiving a list of one or more mediatations from the first thread, wherein the list of one or more mediatations is separate from the base video stream and separate from the thread window;
• playing the base video stream, including displaying the base video stream;
• when the base video stream reaches the first period of the timeline, displaying the first mediatation separate from the base video stream and separate from the list of one or more mediatations;
• receiving, at the thread window, a selection of the second thread, wherein the second thread includes the second mediatation;
• updating the list of mediatations to reflect the one or more mediatations in the second thread;
• receiving, at the list of mediatations, a selection of a second mediatation, wherein the second mediatation is associated with a second period of the timeline;
• in response to the command to display the second mediatation, advancing the base video stream to the second period of the timeline;
• and
• displaying the second mediatation separate from the base video stream.
