A system is described that includes an electronic program guide (EPG) data receiver and a media content catalog enhancer. The EPG receiver is configured to receive EPG data from an EPG data provider. The media content catalog enhancer is configured to determine that an item of media content identified by the EPG data comprises new media content and, in response to determining that the item of media content identified by the EPG data comprises new media content, to cause a web crawler to crawl a source website associated with the new media content to obtain information about the new media content and to store the obtained information about the new media content in a database, the database comprising a catalog of media content that is searchable by an end user to identify and access content for playback via an end user device.

Targeted crawler to develop and/or maintain a searchable database of media content across multiple content providers

Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for obtaining enhanced metadata for media content searches. In one embodiment, computer program logic embodies a metadata receiver and a media content metadata matcher and combiner. The metadata receiver receives program metadata for a plurality of programs from a plurality of metadata sources. The media content metadata matcher and combiner is configured to perform a matching process whereby metadata associated with each of the plurality of programs is compared to metadata of each of the other plurality of programs to determine if the compared programs are the same program and if so, to combine the metadata from each program into a single program including enhanced metadata and store such in a database. A subsequent search for a program corresponding to the stored program returns at least some of the metadata associated with the program, and that enables accessing the program.

Obtaining enhanced metadata for media content

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for enhancing metadata of a recorded items of media content stored on a digital video recorder (DVR) associated with an end user. First metadata associated with the recorded item is determined from the DVR. An aired instance of the first media content is determined in program data from an electronic program guide that corresponds to the recorded item. Second metadata associated with the first media content is retrieved from at least one data source based at least on the identifying information. The first metadata and the second metadata are stored in an end user database in association with the end user.

Enhancement of metadata for items of media content recorded by a digital video recorder

A system for identifying one or more multimedia content relevant to a trending topic is provided. The system includes a display unit, a memory unit that stores a set of modules and a database, and a processor that executes the set of modules. The set of modules include a query processing module, a content extracting module, a context extracting module, and a multimedia content identifying module. The query processing module processes a user input including a search query. The content extracting module extracts content which corresponds to the search query from a social medium. The context extracting module includes a) a keyword generating module obtains one or more generated keywords from the content, and b) a keyword qualifying module obtains one or more keywords from the one or more generated keywords. The multimedia content identifying module identifies the one or more multimedia content based on the one or more keywords.
