A user may select, edit, and share a portion of content. An interface may be used to select, edit, or comment on the portion of the content. One or more playlists may be generated for the selected portion of content and may be used to access the selected portion of content.

Selecting and sharing content

An apparatus, method and computer-readable medium are provided for sending content from a source to a user device. The content is obtained from the source by an intermediate device as a plurality of fragments and a manifest, converted into larger chunks of data, encapsulated into a single file, and then sent over a network connection to the user device.

Hypermedia apparatus and method

Systems and methods for selecting, editing, and sharing content are described. A user watching content on a display device may use a device, such as a mobile device, to select a portion of the content to share. An interface on the display device or the mobile device may be used to select the portion of the content to share, to edit the selected portion, and to comment on the selected portion, among other editing features. The mobile device may send information identifying the selected portion to a server, and the server may generate one or more playlists for the selected portion. The one or more playlists may be generated based on the information received from the mobile device and based on one or more playlists for the content provided by a network, such as a content delivery network. The one or more playlists may be sent to the device of another user and may be used to access the shared content portion.
