A method for receiving an input video frame is provided that generates two obscured frames from the input frame by copying odd lines interspersed with noise lines to one frame and copying even lines interspersed with noise lines to the other frame. The obscured frames are then displayed on a screen with lines polarized in different directions, and a timing signal is output to polarized active shutter glasses such that one lens allows polarized light for lines copied from the original input frame to pass through the lens and be visible to a wearer while the other lens blocks the added noise lines from the wearer's view.

A method of handling advertisements in an adaptive bitrate stream is provided. The method includes the steps of receiving an adaptive bitrate stream playlist listing chunk identifiers pointing to a plurality of media chunks, analyzing the playlist to find one or more advertising chunks, modifying the adaptive bitrate stream playlist with a client device when the client device has been set to skip advertisements by deleting chunk identifiers associated with advertising chunks from the playlist, retrieving and playing back media chunks according to the playlist, and setting a no-trick-play flag at the client device during playback of the one or more advertising chunks when the client device has not been set to skip advertisements, such that trick-plays through and over media chunks are allowed when the no-trick-play flag is not set and are not allowed when the no-trick-play flag is set.
