One or more computing devices configured for determining status aware media play, the one or more computing devices comprising: a database storing content; a user-interaction analyzer, the user-interaction analyzer configured to: monitor user behavior with respect to media interaction with the content stored on the database; log user behavior with respect to media interaction in memory; determine normal user behavior with respect to media interaction, comprising determining how users interleave searching for content, sample the content, and/or consume the content; store the normal user behavior as a baseline in memory; compare user behavior with respect to interaction with a segment of the media with the baseline; when user behavior with respect to interaction with a segment of the media deviates from the baseline, tag the media segment in memory; store in memory the user behavior with respect to interaction with the tagged media segment; and analyze the user behavior with respect to interaction with the tagged media segment to adjust playback functionality by adjusting one or more play parameters; and a playback adjust requestor configured such that, when the user interaction analyzer designates a tagged media segment for low-bandwidth stream, the playback adjust requestor requests a !ow-bandwidth stream, wherein the adjustment of the playback functionality comprises adjustment of the bitrate of video or audio. a database storing content; a user-interaction analyzer, the user-interaction analyzer configured to: monitor user behavior with respect to media interaction with the content stored on the database; log user behavior with respect to media interaction in memory; determine normal user behavior with respect to media interaction, comprising determining how users interleave searching for content, sample the content, and/or consume the content; store the normal user behavior as a baseline in memory; compare user behavior with respect to interaction with a segment of the media with the baseline; when user behavior with respect to interaction with a segment of the media deviates from the baseline, tag the media segment in memory; store in memory the user behavior with respect to interaction with the tagged media segment; and analyze the user behavior with respect to interaction with the tagged media segment to adjust playback functionality by adjusting one or more play parameters; monitor user behavior with respect to media interaction with the content stored on the database; log user behavior with respect to media interaction in memory; determine normal user behavior with respect to media interaction, comprising determining how users interleave searching for content, sample the content, and/or consume the content; store the normal user behavior as a baseline in memory; compare user behavior with respect to interaction with a segment of the media with the baseline; when user behavior with respect to interaction with a segment of the media deviates from the baseline, tag the media segment in memory; store in memory the user behavior with respect to interaction with the tagged media segment; and analyze the user behavior with respect to interaction with the tagged media segment to adjust playback functionality by adjusting one or more play parameters; and a playback adjust requestor configured such that, when the user interaction analyzer designates a tagged media segment for low-bandwidth stream, the playback adjust requestor requests a !ow-bandwidth stream, wherein the adjustment of the playback functionality comprises adjustment of the bitrate of video or audio.
