Crowd-sourced media playback adjustment

A method of adjusting media playback, the method comprising:

• accessing, via a media playback device, a user profile database to obtain a user profile associated with a user of the media playback device, the media playback device presenting a media presentation;
• analyzing the media presentation to obtain metadata embedded in the media presentation;
• receiving a media enhancement command at the media playback device;
• accessing cloud-source data, the cloud-sourced data including data from viewers who have viewed the media presentation;
• comparing the user profile with the cloud-source data to determine a similarity index on an aspect of the cloud-source data, the cloud-source data including correlations between a population of viewers of the media presentation and media adjustments of the media presentation made during viewing the media presentation by the population of viewers, the similarity index being a percentage indicating how similar the user is to a subset of the population represented in the cloud-source data;
• altering the media presentation in response to the media enhancement command, the alteration based on the media enhancement command, the metadata, the user profile to produce an altered presentation of the media presentation, and the cloud-source data;
• and
• presenting, via the media playback device, the altered presentation to the user.

At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions for adjusting media playback, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

• access, via a media playback device, a user profile database to obtain a user profile associated with a user of the media playback device, the media playback device presenting a media presentation;
• analyze the media presentation to obtain metadata embedded in the media presentation;
• receive a media enhancement command at the media playback device;
• access cloud-source data, the cloud-sourced data including data from viewers who have viewed the media presentation;
• compare the user profile with the cloud-source data to determine a similarity index on an aspect of the cloud-source data, the cloud-source data including correlations between a population of viewers of the media presentation and media adjustments of the media presentation made during viewing the media presentation by the population of viewers, the similarity index being a percentage indicating how similar the user is to a subset of the population represented in the cloud-source data;
• alter the media presentation in response to the media enhancement command, the alteration based on the media enhancement command, the metadata, the user profile to produce an altered presentation of the media presentation, and the cloud-source data;
• and
• present, via the media playback device, the altered presentation to the user.
