The present application describes platform containing a dynamic multilayered media structure which is generated by aggregation of media pieces into a plurality of media layers. The platform allows users to interact with media layers of the dynamic multilayered media structure independently of one another. The platform further provides for a dynamic, customized media channel lineup and a user account that allows individual media pieces within the dynamic multilayered media structure to play across separate devices that are linked to the account. The user account allows for inputs including real-time controls over the media, interaction, preferences, adding additional media content, editing media into a condensed form, and curation options with the dynamic multilayered media structure.

This invention discloses an HLS streaming media channel switching method and system based on parallel preprocessing, relating to the field of streaming media transmission technology. The method includes: the server synchronously generating a main playlist and a hot-switching playlist for each channel; the hot-switching playlist records the addresses of micro-media segments starting with I-frames and is continuously updated; the client determines the target channel based on a prediction strategy, requests the target channel's hot-switching playlist in advance, downloads the latest micro-media segments for decoding, and caches them in a waiting frame queue; when a switching command is received, the client directly retrieves a frame from the waiting frame queue for rendering, and simultaneously requests the target channel's main playlist to download regular media segments for playback. This method, by moving network download and decoding operations to before switching, transforms resource acquisition processing into local memory access, fundamentally eliminating the black screen buffering wait during traditional HLS switching and achieving a seamless, frame-level instantaneous switching experience for the user.

A method includes tuning an end user device to a first media station in response to first tuning input received at the end user device, extracting, at the end user device, a station identifier from content obtained from the first media station, and obtaining access information associated with a second media station based on the station identifier of the first media station. In response to second tuning input requesting the end user device to tune to the first media station, instead of tuning to the first media station, retrieving the second media station based on the access information.

An example system and method may provide a media channel rewards application with live polling. An example system may measure a viewing period of the media stream, determine a quantity of digital points respective to a user profile and the media stream based on the measured viewing period, and store a digital record associated with the user profile and the media channel, which digital record indicates the quantity of digital points. In some instances, the system may generate a graphical overlay for a media stream of a media channel and provide a graphical interface in the overlay based on the quantity of digital points associated with the user profile and the media stream.
