Abstract
Systems and methods are described for selecting a storage location for a media asset. A determination is made as to whether a user device is accessing the media asset outside of the user's home location (e.g., over a wireless connection). When the user device is accessing the media asset outside of the user's home location, the following steps are performed. A determination is made whether the media asset features a set of scenes that increases a likelihood of using trick-play functions. If such scenes are present, the media asset is stored in a local storage of the user device. If such scenes are absent, the media asset is stored in a network storage.
