Automated Workflows from Media Asset Differentials
20 Jan 22
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) accessing a first media data object and a different, second media data object that, when played back, each render temporally sequenced content, (2) comparing first temporally sequenced content represented by the first media data object with second temporally sequenced content represented by the second media data object to identify a set of common temporal subsequences between the first media data object and the second media data object, (3) identifying a set of edits relative to the set of common temporal subsequences that describe a difference between the temporally sequenced content of the first media data object and the temporally sequenced content of the second media data object, and (4) executing a workflow relating to the first media data object and/or the second media data object based on the set of edits.

Extension for Targeted Invalidation of Cached Assets
25 Nov 21
Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a computer-implemented method of receiving an invalidation command that includes a first asset identifier, and a set of extension value fields, identifying a first file that is stored in a first cache device and is associated with an identifier matching the first asset identifier, comparing attributes of the first file to the set of extension value fields, and upon determining that, for each extension value field, at least one attribute of the first file matches at least one value of the extension value field, causing the first file in the first cache device to be preserved, or upon determining that, for at least one extension value, at least one attribute of the first file does not match at least one value of the extension value field, causing the first file to be invalidated.
