The disclosed computer-implemented method includes determining, for multiple different media items, a current time scale at which the media items are encoded for distribution, where at least two of the media items are encoded at different frame rates. The method then includes identifying, for the media items, a unified time scale that provides a constant frame interval for each of the media items. The method also includes changing at least one of the media items from the current time scale to the identified unified time scale to provide a constant frame interval for the changed media item(s). Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for providing optimized time scales and accurate presentation time stamps

Example embodiments provide a media content news feed identifying one or more media content streams that may be received and displayed. In an example embodiment, media content alert information is received at a media content device that describes at least one of a plurality of media content streams receivable at the media content device via a network. The received media content alert information is processed to generate a content news feed including one or more content news items. The content news feed is presented using the display device. A selection of one of the content news items of the feed is received, with the selected content news item identifying a corresponding media content stream of the plurality of streams. Based on the selected content news item, the corresponding media content stream is processed.

News feed for media content selection

A system and method for providing multiple views recording is provided. In example embodiments, an indication to record serial events including a first event and a second event on a same channel is received. A recording stream is started at a beginning of the first event and ends at an end of the second event. View markings are inserted in the recording stream that differentiate a first view corresponding to the first event from a second view corresponding to the second event. Thus, the recording stream creates a single file that contains multiple views. The single file is stored for later playback.
