Secure marshaling of data via one or more intermediate processes is provided. A source process may create a named shared memory section resulting in a first handle to the shared memory section. The source process may populate the shared memory section with information. An access control list may secure the shared memory section by preventing the one or more intermediate processes from accessing content of the shared memory section, while allowing a target process to access the content. The first handle and a name of the shared memory section may be marshaled to a first intermediate process resulting in a respective new handle to the shared memory section. A last intermediate process may marshal the name to a target process, which may use the name to obtain access to the content of the shared memory section.

In one exemplary implementation, strategies are described which transmit notification information from a first device (e.g., a media server) to a second device (e.g., a remote media device). Based on this notification information, a recipient-user can use the first device to generate an event pertaining to the notification information and forward the event to the second device, where the event is logged. The second device can then send prompting information to a follow-up user (who may be the same as the recipient-user) to alert that user to the existence of the logged event. The follow-up user can further advance an action (such as buying a resource, printing a resource, and so forth) based on the prompting information. Filtering mechanisms are described for determining which recipient-users are able to send events, and for determining which follow-up users are able to receive prompting information that indicates the existence of events.

A component, such as a Component Object Model (COM) object, operates as an intermediary between an Application Programming Interface (API) extension or plug-in and a driver. The component allows additional objects to be aggregated onto the component, and/or sets one or more setting values for a received request so that an I/O call associated with the request can be completed in a manner that is compatible with other I/O calls. The component may also return, in response to a particular request, a stream index associated with the component.

Described herein are one or more implementations for exposing data content (e.g., digital media) of a portable digital media device over a network to one or more network-connected electronics devices, where such exposing is done via a network-connected personal computer to which the portable digital media device is directed coupled (e.g., via a USB). Also, described herein are one or more implementations for gathering a customized collection of data content from web-feeds at a web-connected personal computer and exposing that gathered web-feed data content to a network-connected electronics devices (such as a set-top box for a television).

A set of interfaces, data structures and events represent a DV metadata extraction tool. The DV metadata extraction tool includes an API (application programming interface) for describing DV metadata packs that are to be extracted from a DV data stream. The extraction API supports methods for specifying and removing DV metadata packs to be extracted from DV frames. The DV metadata extraction tool also includes an API for describing a container that holds DV metadata once it has been extracted from a DV frame. The container API supports methods for adding and removing DV structures to the container and for retrieving data from the container, removing data from the container, and iterating through the container. The DV metadata extraction tool also includes a collection of higher-level structures that represent unpacked DV metadata packs.
