Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for delivering streaming media content to a client device, the method comprising: identifying a selection of media titles to present to a user as previews via an autoplay interface presented on the client device; identifying, for a first one of the media titles, a first insertion point that specifies a frame from which to begin streaming the first media title to the client device via the autoplay interface, wherein the first insertion point is selected from one or more insertion points; streaming the first media title to the client device beginning from the first insertion point, wherein the autoplay interface begins playback of the streamed first media title without requiring user selection of the first media title; recording an indication that selected first insertion point has been used to preview the first media title on the client device; identifying a second selection of media titles to present to the user as previews via the autoplay interface presented on the client device, wherein the second selection of media titles includes the first media title; and streaming the first media title to the client device from a second insertion point wherein the second insertion point is different than the first insertion point.
