writing, by the least one electronic device, the event data to an event log for the gameplay session.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising:

analyzing, by the least one electronic device, the event data in the event log for purposes of identifying events of one or more event types, and associated with the player, in the gameplay session.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:

generating, by the least one electronic device, game-related content corresponding to the event data in the event log, the game-related content including at least one of a highlight video, a game montage, player coaching, player skill determination, or player gameplay style analysis.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

analyzing, by the least one electronic device, additional data for the gameplay session, the additional data including at least one of video data of the player, audio data for the player, biometric data for the player, or game input of the player.

10. A system comprising:

one or more processors accessible locally or over a network; and

memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:

receive media corresponding to a gameplay session for a player of a game;

determine at least one event region in the media, based at least in part on a game configuration file;

analyze the video data for the at least one event region using a game-agnostic detection engine and one or more event detectors identified for the game;

determine an event, based at least in part on a change displayed in the at least one event region; and

provide event data corresponding to the determined event.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions when executed further cause the system to:

determine the one or more event detectors using a game-specific configuration file, the event detectors performing at least one of image recognition, pattern matching, icon recognition, optical character recognition, audio recognition, or player input analysis.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions when executed further cause the system to:

determine one or more pre-processing algorithms to use for pre-processing of the media using a game-specific configuration file, the pre-processing algorithms performing at least one of event region selection, upscaling, downscaling, filtering, stretching, warping, perspective correction, noise removal, color space transform, color isolation, or value thresholding.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions when executed further cause the system to:

receive, from the one or more event detectors, one or more event cues; and

utilize at least one cue-to-event translation algorithm to determine the event based, at least in part, upon the one or more event cues.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions when executed further cause the system to:

receive the media in the form of a file or stream during, or after, the gameplay session.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions when executed further cause the system to:

write the event data to an event log for the gameplay session, the event data being both human and process readable, the event log being accessible at least for identifying events of one or more event types, and associated with the player, in the gameplay session.

16. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon a set of instructions, which if performed by one or more processors accessible locally or over a network, cause the one or more processors to at least:

receive media representative of a gameplay session for a game, the media including video data;

determine at least one event region in the media, based at least in part on a game configuration file;

analyze the video data for the at least one event region using one or more event detectors identified for the game;

determine an event, based at least in part on a change displayed in the at least one event region; and

provide event data corresponding to the determined event.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions if performed further cause the one or more processors to:

determine the one or more event detectors using a game-specific configuration file, the event detectors performing at least one of image recognition, pattern matching, icon recognition, optical character recognition, audio recognition, or player input analysis.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions if performed further cause the one or more processors to:
