Abstract:
1. A home media server content management and processing system, comprising: an editing platform running editing software; a database, contained in the editing platform, to store media producer specified multi-media content; a set of downloadable instructions and data generated by a media producer to assemble an edited video program using a plurality of segments of the multi-media content; a network to distribute the set of downloadable instructions, the edited set of data and analysis data generated by the media producer to home media servers; a home media server to receive the set of downloadable instructions, the edited set of data and the analysis data generated by the media producer from the editing platform via the network, wherein the downloadable instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the home media sever to search for and bid for media content, to obtain rights to the media content based on the bidding, and to obtain the additional media content associated with the edited video program, and emulate assembly of the edited video program using, the media content obtaining utilizing the downloadable instruction files and the edited set of data, and wherein emulating assembly of the edited video program includes utilizing analysis software, the analysis software including instructions which when executed by a processor cause the home media server to perform fast fourier transform (FFT) of each frame of the specified segments from the files of the media content and to compare the home media server fast fourier transform (FFT) to downloaded media producer fast fourier transform (FFT) data, wherein a correlation between the home media server fast fourier transform (FFT) and the downloaded media producer fast fourier transform (FFT) data allows the home media server to identify exact segment endpoints used to assemble the edited video program.
