Abstract
A device, method, and computer-readable media for managing interrupt times for content items based on metadata encapsulating user behavior. A user controls the playback of content items such as audio or videos. The content items may be episodes in a programming series. Tags are associated with the content items. These tags include metadata having playback time of the received user interactions. In turn, the device processes the tags to identify user interaction that include stop events for the content items. The tags are processed based on a sliding time window. The playback times of the stop events are selected as potential interrupt times that the device may include recommendations for unaired episodes. The selected interrupt times are also used to identify inconsistencies in the metadata.
