Abstract

Some embodiments described in this disclosure are directed to one or more electronic devices that facilitate control of playback of a live content item displayed in a playback user interface. Some embodiments described in this disclosure are directed to one or more electronic devices that facilitate display of key content corresponding to a live content item in a key content user interface. Some embodiments described in this disclosure are directed to one or more electronic devices that facilitate concurrently display of multiple content items in a Multiview user interface. Some embodiments described in this disclosure are directed to one or more electronic devices that facilitate display of insights corresponding to a content item displayed in a playback user interface.

First claim

1 . A method comprising:
at an electronic device in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices:
while displaying, via the display generation component, a live content item in a playback user interface, wherein the playback user interface is configured to playback content, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a first input corresponding to a request to display one or more controls for controlling playback of the live content item;
in response to receiving the first input, displaying, via the display generation component, a scrubber bar for navigating through the live content item and a first visual indicator in the playback user interface, wherein the first visual indicator is displayed in a first visual state and the first visual indicator is separate from the scrubber bar;
while displaying the scrubber bar and the first visual indicator in the first visual state in the playback user interface, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a second input corresponding to a request to scrub through the live content item; and
in response to receiving the second input:
updating a current playback position within the live content item in accordance with the second input; and
displaying the first visual indicator in a second visual state, different from the first visual state, in the playback user interface.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, via the one or more input devices, a respective input corresponding to a request to display a second content item in the playback user interface, wherein the second content item is not a live content item; in response to receiving the respective input, displaying, via the display generation component, the second content item in the playback user interface; while displaying the second content item in the playback user interface, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a third input corresponding to a request to display one or more controls for controlling playback of the second content item; and in response to receiving the third input, displaying, via the display generation component, a scrubber bar for navigating through the second content item without displaying the first visual indicator in the playback user interface.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to receiving the first input:
displaying, via the display generation component a first selectable option that is selectable to display information corresponding to the live content item; and
displaying a second selectable option that is selectable to display one or more representations of one or more second live content items;
wherein the first selectable option and the second selectable option are displayed in a predefined region relative to the scrubber bar in the playback user interface.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein:
the information corresponding to the live content item includes one or more statistics associated with the live content item; and the one or more statistics associated with the live content item are updated based on the current playback position within the live content item.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein, before receiving the second input corresponding to the request to scrub through the live content item, the information corresponding to the live content item includes one or more first statistics associated with the live content item without including one or more second statistics, different from the one or more first statistics, associated with the live content item, the method further comprising:
in response to receiving the second input:
updating the information corresponding to the live content item to include the one or more second statistics associated with the live content item.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein:
in response to detecting the second input:
in accordance with a determination that the second input corresponds to a request to scrub backward in the live content item:
updating the current playback position within the live content item in accordance with the second input includes updating the current playback position to correspond to a first playback position within the live content item that is a past playback position relative to the current playback position when the second input was received; and
the one or more second statistics associated with the live content item are associated with the past playback position within the live content item.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein:
in response to detecting the second input:
in accordance with a determination that the second input corresponds to a request to scrub forward in the live content item:
updating the current playback position within the live content item in accordance with the second input includes updating the current playback position to correspond to a first playback position within the live content item that is a future playback position relative to the current playback position when the second input was received; and
the one or more second statistics associated with the live content item are associated with the future playback position within the live content item.

8 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more representations of one or more second live content items include:
a first subset of the one or more second live content items that are currently available for playback in the playback user interface, wherein selection of a respective representation of a respective live content item in the first subset of the one or more second live content items initiates playback of the respective live content item in the playback user interface; and/or a second subset of the one or more second live content items that will be available for playback in the future in the playback user interface.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the scrubber bar includes a respective playback time indication that is based on:
a time of day at the electronic device that the live content item was first available for playback in the playback user interface; and the current playback position within the live content item.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
in response to detecting the second input:
updating the respective playback time indication in accordance with the updated current playback position within the live content item, wherein the updated respective playback time indication includes an updated time of day at the electronic device at which the playback of the live content item at the updated current playback position within the live content item was first available.

11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to detecting the second input:
displaying, via the display generation component, a selectable option with the scrubber bar in the playback user interface, wherein the selectable option is selectable to move the current playback position to a live playback position within the live content item, wherein the selectable option was not displayed when the first visual indicator was displayed in the first visual state.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
while displaying the scrubber bar with the selectable option in the playback user interface, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a third input corresponding to selection of the selectable option; and in response to receiving the third input:
updating the current playback position to the live playback position within the live content item.

13 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
while displaying the scrubber bar that includes the selectable option in the playback user interface, recei
