Video containers are expanded to encapsulate auxiliary data and metadata linking video content with relevant portions of auxiliary data for download during playback of particular video content. Auxiliary data is parsed into areas of interest and associated with the video content including the same areas of interest. During playback a viewer is provided access to relevant portions of the auxiliary data according to the encapsulated metadata describing the relevant portions.

Metadata for embedded binary data in video containers

A processor may receive, from two or more nodes in the blockchain, respective consideration from each of the two or more nodes at a first time. The processor may receive respective updates from each of the two or more nodes at a second time. The processor may determine whether a single node of the two or more nodes is available after the respective updates. The processor may designate the single node as the block generator node.

Aspects utilize computer processors to restart a hung process. The processors are configured to, in response to determining that a child process that is executing within an operating system is in a hung state, pause a parent process that is executing within the operating system, wherein a data operation of the parent process is dependent upon a data output of the child process, determine a cause of the hung state of the child process, ready the parent process to restart as a function of the determined cause of the hung state of the child process, and in response to determining that the parent process is ready for restart, notify the operating system that the child process is ready for restart, restart the paused parent process and restart the child process.

Inplace process restart

Distributed version control in a multi-region cloud in which each region includes an instance of a version control service. A first version control service in a first region receives an indicator to re-version a document saved in the first cloud region. For re-versioning due to creation of a new version of the document in the first cloud region, first version control service re-versions the document by saving the created new version of the document in the first cloud region. The first version control service identifies access information to a second version control service in a second cloud region and transmits the re-versioned document to the second version control service. For a re-versioning due to receiving a new version of the document from a second version control service, the first version control service re-versions the document by saving the received new version of the document in the first cloud region.
