Abstract:
A method (100) for employing a controlled-modification current time value maintains the current time value (102). When requests for modification of the current time value are received (104) each of the requests is processed (106) and the requested modification associated with one of the requests is immediately incorporated into the current time value, whilst the requested modification associated with another one of the requests is not immediately incorporated into the current time value.
Abstract:
The text data is parsed using metadata to identify portions of the video stream to skip during presentation (602), and/or to identify portions of the video stream to present to a user. The portions of the video stream that are to be skipped are filtered from the video stream (604), and the filtered video stream is presented to a user (606).
