摘要

Embodiments related to the presentation of linear content and non-linear content in an integrated user experience are disclosed. One embodiment provides a method of identifying linear content and non-linear content for presentation via a video recording device. The method includes detecting a trigger to perform a search for content items, and providing, responsive to the trigger, a search request to one or more metadata sources, each metadata source containing locations of one or more of linear content items and non-linear content items available at one or more content sources. The method further includes receiving from each metadata source a search response including metadata associated with available content at one or more of the content sources, and outputting a list of content items identifying one or more linear content items and one or more non-linear content items from one or more metadata sources.

1. A computing device, comprising:
a logic subsystem; and a data-holding subsystem storing recorded video content and computer-readable instructions that are executable by the logic subsystem to detect a trigger to perform a search for content items; provide responsive to the trigger, a search request to one or more metadata sources, each metadata source containing information regarding locations of one or more of scheduled content items and on-demand content items at one or more content sources; receive responsive to the search request, from each metadata source a search response including metadata associated with available content at the one or more content sources; output to a display device a list of content items identifying one or more selected scheduled content items and one or more selected on-demand content items from the one or more metadata sources; determine whether a particular scheduled content item of the one or more selected scheduled content items is available from an on-demand content source; and during presentation of the particular scheduled content item, output a notification if the particular scheduled content item is available from the on-demand content source.
