Claims19

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

at an electronic device in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices:
while displaying, via the display generation component, a respective content item in a playback user interface, wherein the playback user interface is configured to playback content, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a first input corresponding to a request to display one or more controls for controlling playback of the respective content item;
in response to receiving the first input, displaying, via the display generation component, a content player bar for controlling playback of the respective content item and a first option that is selectable to display information corresponding to the respective content item;
while displaying the content player bar and the first option, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a second input corresponding to selection of the first option;
in response to receiving the second input:
in accordance with a determination that the respective content item is a live content item, displaying, via the display generation component, first information corresponding to the live content item;
and
in accordance with a determination that the respective content item is an on-demand content item, displaying second information corresponding to the on-demand content item;
while displaying the first information corresponding to the live content item in accordance with the determination that the respective content item is a live content item in response to receiving the second input, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a third input;
and
in response to receiving the third input:
displaying, via the display generation component, the live content item in a minimized state in the playback user interface;
and
updating the first information corresponding to the live content item to further include third information, different from the first information, corresponding to the live content item.

11 more elements

An electronic device, comprising:

one or more processors;
memory;
and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
while displaying, via a display generation component, a respective content item in a playback user interface, wherein the playback user interface is configured to playback content, receiving, via one or more input devices, a first input corresponding to a request to display one or more controls for controlling playback of the respective content item;
in response to receiving the first input, displaying, via the display generation component, a content player bar for controlling playback of the respective content item and a first option that is selectable to display information corresponding to the respective content item;
while displaying the content player bar and the first option, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a second input corresponding to selection of the first option;
in response to receiving the second input:
in accordance with a determination that the respective content item is a live content item, displaying, via the display generation component, first information corresponding to the live content item;
and
in accordance with a determination that the respective content item is an on-demand content item, displaying second information corresponding to the on-demand content item;
while displaying the first information corresponding to the live content item in accordance with the determination that the respective content item is a live content item in response to receiving the second input, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a third input;
and
in response to receiving the third input:
displaying, via the display generation component, the live content item in a minimized state in the playback user interface;
and
updating the first information corresponding to the live content item to further include third information, different from the first information, corresponding to the live content item.

14 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform a method comprising:

while displaying, via a display generation component, a respective content item in a playback user interface, wherein the playback user interface is configured to playback content, receiving, via one or more input devices, a first input corresponding to a request to display one or more controls for controlling playback of the respective content item;
in response to receiving the first input, displaying, via the display generation component, a content player bar for controlling playback of the respective content item and a first option that is selectable to display information corresponding to the respective content item;
while displaying the content player bar and the first option, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a second input corresponding to selection of the first option;
in response to receiving the second input:
in accordance with a determination that the respective content item is a live content item, displaying, via the display generation component, first information corresponding to the live content item;
and
in accordance with a determination that the respective content item is an on-demand content item, displaying second information corresponding to the on-demand content item;
while displaying the first information corresponding to the live content item in accordance with the determination that the respective content item is a live content item in response to receiving the second input, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a third input;
and
in response to receiving the third input:
displaying, via the display generation component, the live content item in a minimized state in the playback user interface;
and
updating the first information corresponding to the live content item to further include third information, different from the first information, corresponding to the live content item.
