Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing access to media content associated with events, using a digital media content environment. A media application enables display of a memory event timeline, including a plurality of memory events, to provide an improved presentation of media consumption by a user that resembles a person's memory or recollection of such events. Recent events are generally presented with more specificity, with earlier time periods and events generally presented more broadly. An input action or request for a memory event can be performed to cause a media server to determine a corresponding historical media content for delivery, and to stream or buffer the historical media content related to that memory event, and/or to cause other systems or environments to provide additional content related to the memory event either via the media server, or directly delivered to the media device.
