An antenna position determination system determines a position for an antenna to communicate with a broadcast tower and present the antenna to a user via augmented reality. The antenna position determination system receives information indicating one or more broadcast towers including a location for each broadcast tower. The antenna position determination system selects a broadcast tower of the one or more broadcast towers and receives an image of an antenna. The antenna position determination system determines a position for the antenna to communicate with the selected broadcast tower based on the image of the antenna and the selected broadcast tower. The antenna position determination system presents the determined position of the antenna to a user via an augmented reality user interface.

Systems and methods for remote debugging perform remote debugging of a receiving device, such as a set-top box or other connected media player, even when the receiving device is located behind a firewall. The receiving device has a persistent outbound connection with a message server. Since it is an outbound connection, it connects across firewall restrictions. A remote debug machine sends a message via the message server to the receiving device over a network. The message carries the command/operation to be executed by the receiving device. The receiving device, which receives the command, executes the command and sends the output of the command to a debug data upload server to which the remote debug machine has access.

A system, related operating methods, and computer readable storage media are disclosed here. The disclosed subject matter relates to methods of providing augmented reality features in connection with presentation of video content. A disclosed method involves: causing presentation of a video program at a user device associated with a viewing user; obtaining metadata associated with the video program; processing a live video feed that includes the viewing user; generating augmented reality overlay content for the live video feed, wherein visual appearance of at least some of the augmented reality overlay content is influenced by the obtained metadata; and causing presentation of an enhanced version of the live video feed at the user device associated with the viewing user, the enhanced version of the live video feed comprising the augmented reality overlay content.

Automated processes, computing systems, computing devices and other aspects of a data processing system provide improved reliability in delivering digital media content over the Internet or a similar wide area network without sacrificing data security. Content is initially placed into a secure format (e.g., secure hypertext transport protocol (HTTPS) via transport control protocol (TCP) or the like). Prior to transmission on the network, the secure data packets are encapsulated within connectionless frames, such as user datagram protocol (UDP) frames. The client device that receives the encapsulated packets extracts the underlying secure content from the connectionless frames for further processing. The encapsulation into connectionless data frames permits client and server devices to establish effective streaming sessions while preserving the security of the underlying data.

Secure media streaming communication via user datagram protocol

A method of providing channel content in a broadcast content reception and distribution system includes: receiving, by a broadcast content reception device, information that identifies a channel that provides channel content, from a content player device; receiving, by the broadcast content reception device, a signal that transmits the channel content, from an antenna; receiving, by the broadcast content reception device, information that indicates a signal strength corresponding to the channel based on the signal that transmits the channel content received from the antenna; determining, by the broadcast content reception device, that the signal strength is less than or equal to a threshold value based on the information that indicates the signal strength; and transmitting, by the broadcast content reception device, a message to the content player device in response to the determining that the signal strength is less than or equal to the threshold value.

Automated processes, computing systems, computing devices, and other aspects of a data processing system improve reliability in transmitting digital media content over a network using resource constrained hardware. Media content may be received from a media source and used to generate data segments. A reference to a first segment of the media content stored in the buffer is written to a message queue. A computing device switches into copy data mode in response to the number of references in the buffer being greater than or equal to a first threshold value. A second segment of the media content is written directly to the message queue.

Buffer management for optimized processing in media pipeline

Various systems, device and automated processes allow video streaming hosts or other server devices to publish their internal/local addresses (e.g., addresses used on a subnet or other local area network) to a backend address server operating on a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet. Client devices attempting to subsequently contact server devices operating in the same local network can contact the address to obtain the internal address of the target server, thereby allowing direct LAN connections between clients and servers.

Cloud access to local network addresses

Server devices operating on the Internet or another wide area network (WAN) are able to locate client devices using address information obtained from a shared location. Client devices initially determine their own network address information and submit the determined information for a priori storage at the shared location on the WAN. Each server device, in turn, contacts a message service or the like to establish a persistent data connection that is maintained between the message service and the server device over time. After the client device stores its own address information, the client initiates contact with the server via the message service having the previously-established persistent connection. Upon receipt of the instruction from the message service, the server is able to retrieve the client's previously-stored address information from the WAN storage and use the information to establish a connection with the client.

Client-server connections over wide area network

Novel techniques are described for lock-free sharing of a circular buffer. Embodiments can provide shared, lock-free, constant-bitrate access by multiple consumer systems to a live stream of audiovisual information being recorded to a circular buffer by a producer. For example, when a producer system writes a data stream to the circular buffer, the producer system records shared metadata. When a consumer system desires to begin reading from the shared buffer at a particular time, the shared metadata is used to compute a predicted write pointer location and corresponding dirty region around the write pointer at the desired read time. A read pointer of the consumer system can be set to avoid the dirty region, thereby permitting read access to a stable region of the circular buffer without relying on a buffer lock.

Lock-free sharing of live-recorded circular buffer resources

Automated processes, computing systems, computing devices, and other aspects of a data processing system improve reliability in transmitting digital media content over a network using resource constrained hardware. Media content may be received from a media source and used to generate data segments. An address may be written to a message queue, with the address referencing a first segment of the media content stored in the buffer. A computing device may check whether a number of addresses stored in a message queue is greater than or equal to a first threshold value. A second segment of the media content may be written to the message queue in response to the number of addresses stored in the message queue being greater than or equal to the first threshold value.
