Application tune manifests and tune state recovery

A system for resuming content playback, the system comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• receive a request to run an application on a device during playback of media content on the device, wherein the media content is received from a content source;
• based on receiving the request to run the application:
• store an indication that identifies the content source in response to receiving the request to run the application;
• run the application, wherein playback of the media content is paused while the application is run;
• identify when the application is exited;
• based on identifying that the application is exited:
• retrieve the indication of the content source;
• automatically access, using the device, the content source identified in the retrieved indication;
• and
• resume playback of the media content;
• receive, a request to run an additional application, wherein the additional application is associated with a tune manifest that identifies additional hardware resources of the device that the additional application may use;
• compare the tune manifest to a device resource record stored on the device;
• determine, based at least on the comparing, whether the additional hardware resources may be satisfied by the device;
• and
• generate for display a notification of a conflict between the additional application and the device.
