Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for replacing digital content. An example embodiment operates by detecting a segment of a data stream to be output by a media device and generating a fingerprint of digital content corresponding to the segment using automatic content recognition (ACR). The example embodiment further operates by comparing the fingerprint with a plurality of fingerprints of a plurality of digital content, identifying a matched fingerprint of a matched digital content, and comparing metadata of the matched digital content with metadata of a restricted digital content. The example embodiment further operates by determining that the digital content corresponding to the segment is blocked from being output by the media stream and replacing the digital content with new digital content in the segment.
