Methods and systems for accessing stored content

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause:

• causing, based on a first plurality of requests to record a content item, storage of a first portion of the content item in each of a plurality of user-specific storages associated with a plurality of user accounts and storage of a second portion of the content item in a common storage associated with the plurality of user accounts;
• based on a second plurality of requests associated with outputting the content item, while the content item is being recorded, satisfying one or more caching criteria, causing storage of the second portion in cache storage different from the common storage;
• and
• causing output of a stored first portion, from one of the plurality of user-specific storages, and the second portion from the cache storage.

A device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
• cause, based on a first plurality of requests to record a content item, storage of a first portion of the content item in each of a plurality of user-specific storages associated with a plurality of user accounts and storage of a second portion of the content item in a common storage associated with the plurality of user accounts;
• based on a second plurality of requests associated with outputting the content item, while the content item is being recorded, satisfying one or more caching criteria, cause storage of the second portion in cache storage different from the common storage;
• and
• cause output of a stored first portion, from one of the plurality of user-specific storages, and the second portion from the cache storage.

A system comprising:

• a first computing device configured to:
• cause, based on a first plurality of requests to record a content item, storage of a first portion of the content item in each of a plurality of user-specific storages associated with a plurality of user accounts and storage of a second portion of the content item in a common storage associated with the plurality of user accounts,
• based on a second plurality of requests associated with outputting the content item, while the content item is being recorded, satisfying one or more caching criteria, cause storage of the second portion in cache storage different from the common storage, and
• cause output of a stored first portion, from one of the plurality of user-specific storages, and the second portion from the cache storage;
• and
• a second computing device configured to:
• output the stored first portion, from one of the plurality of user-specific storages, and the second portion from the cache storage.
