An embodiment includes software that causes a third node to perform operations comprising: in response to receiving a first identifier for a first node that includes at least one processor, authenticate a first user of the first node via a first authentication service; in response to receiving a second identifier for a second node that includes at least one processor, authenticate a second user of the second node via a second authentication service that is unequal to the first authentication service; in response to authenticating the first user of the first node, communicate a first list of media assets to the first computing node; in response to authenticating the second user of the second node, communicate a second list of media assets to the second computing node. Other embodiments are described herein.

Platform-agnostic media framework

An embodiment includes receiving a first request for first video content and a first video player from a client; in response (a) (i) obtaining first source code for the first video player, (a)(ii) obtaining a first configuration file for the first video player, (a)(iii) obtaining a first player module corresponding to the first video player, and (a)(iv) communicating same to the client. The first video player comprises code to play video via a graphical user interface. The first player module comprises code that, in response to the first player module subscribing to a first event bus of a pub/sub system, performs a first routine in response to: (b)(i) a first publication to the first event bus from an additional player module that corresponds to the first video player, and (b) (ii) execution of a first callback function corresponding to the first publication.

Video player framework for a media distribution and management platform

Optical systems of the present invention generally include an optical signal controller disposed along an optical link between two optical nodes. The optical signal controller is configured to provide a monitoring signal from an optical signal passing between the nodes as a plurality of wavelength sub-bands at least one of which includes a plurality of signal channels. The controller generates a compensating channel having an optical power that is a function of the monitoring signal power in the plurality of wavelength sub-bands or total power. The compensating channel is combined with the optical signal to compensate for power variations in the optical signal passing between the nodes. In addition, the compensating channels can be used to transmit communication or system supervisory information between monitoring points and/or nodes in the system.
