Methods, systems, and media for presenting content based on a generic rating are provided. In some implementations, the method comprises: receiving search results; determining country-specific content ratings associated with the search results; converting the country-specific content ratings to generic content ratings associated with the search results; determining that at least one search result is to be blocked based on the generic content ratings and a user-selected generic content rating restriction; in response to determining that a search result is to be blocked, removing the search result from the search results to create modified search results; causing the modified search results to be presented; receiving a selection of content from the presented search results; determining a country-specific content rating associated with the selected content; converting the country-specific content rating to a generic content rating; determining that the selected content is not to be blocked based on the generic content rating and the user-selected generic content rating restriction; and causing the selected content to be presented.

Methods, systems, and media for presenting content based on a generic rating

A method for dynamic bitrate selection for streaming media includes receiving one or more chunks from a first media stream of a plurality of bitrate media streams of a media file at a streaming buffer of the processing device, the plurality of bitrate media streams comprising a first subset of bitrate media streams including the first media stream and a second subset of bitrate media streams having a bitrate higher than a first bitrate of the first media stream. The method further includes monitoring a status of the streaming buffer by determining a buffer duration of the one or more chunks from the first media stream being buffered at the streaming buffer, calculating an expected download time for a subsequent chunk of the media file to be received at the streaming buffer in each bitrate media stream, selecting a bitrate media stream of the second subset of bitrate media streams based on expected download times calculated for the second subset of bitrate media streams and the playing time of the one or more chunks from the first media stream being buffered at the streaming buffer, and downloading the subsequent chunk from the selected bitrate media stream.

Dynamic bitrate selection for streaming media

A bitrate selector on a user device monitors a first stream of a plurality of bitrate media streams of a media file, the first media stream having a first bitrate, these plurality of bitrate media streams comprising a first subset of bitrate media streams including the first media stream and a second subset of bitrate media streams having a bitrate higher than the first bitrate. The bitrate selector calculates an expected download time for a subsequent chunk of the media file in each bitrate media stream of the second subset of bitrate media streams. The bitrate selector selects a bitrate media stream of the second subset of bitrate media streams for the subsequent chunk based on the expected download times and downloads the subsequent chunk from the selected bitrate media stream.

An apparatus for generating a task-based User Interface (UI) includes a task ontology unit for maintaining task information with respect to the task, a device ontology unit for maintaining device information with respect to a device, a UI description generation unit for reading the task information and/or the device information using the task ontology unit and/or the device ontology unit, respectively, and generating UI description information from the read task information and/or the read device information, the UI description information being made by a task-based language, and a UI description parsing unit for parsing the UI description information to output the task-based UI.
