Abstract
A processor and a memory connected to the processor store instructions executed by the processor to collect playback statistics including audio attributes or video attributes associated with playback of specified content from multiple devices, perform an aggregation of the playback statistics, wherein the aggregation comprises a distribution of the audio attributes or video attributes associated with the playback of the specified content, identify a mean value of the distribution, and establish a playback configuration for the specified content based upon the mean value. Aggregation of audio attributes or video attributes may be for a specified device type, wherein the specified device type is a category of playback devices to which a device belongs. The specified device here may be a type of content player.
