Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for broadcast state agnostic timeline metadata presentation on a companion device is implemented on a computing device and includes: receiving timeline metadata associated with a video content item in a pseudo-live mode, where the timeline metadata is received from a timeline metadata provision system according to a timeline for an original broadcast of the video content item, and presenting the timeline metadata as it is received from said timeline metadata provision system, where the presenting is in parallel to an original or non-original broadcast of the video content item playing on an associated viewing device.
