This Application sets forth techniques for dynamically generating media content clips based on key events that occur. In particular, the techniques enable key events to be identified among a stream of events that take place in the real world (e.g., at awards events, at social events, at sporting events, etc.) and enable media content clips to be dynamically generated for the key events. In turn, the key events and their respective media content clips can be presented to users for viewing.

Techniques for dynamically generating media content clips based on key events that occur

The systems described herein provide a system for presenting affordances for applications installable on electronic devices. In response to selection of one or more of the affordances, a content affordance of content provided by a corresponding application is provided.

Universal browse and watch list

The systems described herein provide a system for automatic login into content provider applications. An operating system stores authentication credentials for the applications, which can be subsequently provided for use during invocation of the content provider applications.

The systems described herein include a universal browse and watch list that can provide a centralized user interface for presenting recently watched, recommended, and continue watching content items provided by different content providers. For example, a media device can include multiple content provider applications for viewing media items on the media device. When a content provider application presents a media item, the content provider application can send playback status data to a content aggregator application on the media device. The content aggregator application can provide the playback status data to a content aggregator server. The content aggregator application can interact with a content aggregator server to determine which content providers can provide the played media item or related media items. The content aggregator application can provide a centralized user interface that allows the user to initiate playback of media items provided by the various content providers.
