Abstract:
1. A non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium, comprising instructions, wherein responsive to executing the instructions, a processor performs operations comprising: communicating with a set-top box receiver over a network; monitoring the set-top box receiver for subscriber-based changes to an initial configuration applied to the set-top box receiver, wherein the initial configuration is for adapting operations of the set-top box receiver, wherein the subscriber-based changes comprise an updated configuration, wherein the updated configuration is for managing personal media content, and wherein the subscriber-based changes generate the updated configuration; detecting the subscriber-based changes to the initial configuration responsive to the monitoring of the set-top box receiver; retrieving the updated configuration from the set-top box receiver responsive to the detecting of the subscriber-based changes; recording the updated configuration in a storage device communicatively coupled to the network to provide a stored configuration; receiving from a set-top box receiver over the network a request for the stored I configuration; responsive to the receiving of the request for the stored configuration, transmitting to the set-top box receiver over the network the stored configuration to provision operations of the set-top box receiver; determining an incompatibility between the initial configuration and updated configuration; and responsive to determining an incompatibility, transcoding the updated configuration for the set-top box.
