Remote bulk channel management
Systems and methods are disclosed for implementing a remote bulk channel management system for simultaneously managing settings or channels for a plurality of streaming devices. In certain embodiments, a method may comprise implementing a remote bulk management control for a plurality of streaming devices, including presenting a bulk management interface at a user device showing a current setting for the plurality of streaming devices, receiving a setting change request for multiple streaming devices from the plurality of streaming devices via the bulk management interface, and implementing the setting change request at the multiple streaming devices substantially simultaneously.
1. A method comprising:
implementing a remote bulk channel management control for a plurality of streaming devices situated at different geographical locations, including:
presenting, from a streaming service at a location remote from the plurality of streaming devices, a bulk management interface at a user device showing a geographical location and a current channel setting for each of the plurality of streaming devices;
receiving, at the streaming service, a setting change request to set multiple streaming devices from the plurality of streaming devices to a same channel via the bulk management interface; and
implementing, by the streaming service, the setting change request at the multiple streaming devices substantially simultaneously.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
receiving a bulk management request associated with a user identifier; and
presenting the bulk management interface in response to the bulk management request.
3. The method of claim 2 further comprising:
determining the plurality of streaming devices as devices associated with the user identifier.
4. The method of claim 3 further comprising:
the setting change request includes an indication of a user selection of the multiple streaming devices, the multiple streaming devices being a number less than or equal to the plurality of streaming devices.
5. The method of claim 4 further comprising:
grouping the plurality of streaming devices into a plurality of groups in the bulk management interface; and
the user selection of the multiple streaming devices includes a selection of a group to select all streaming devices within the group.
6. The method of claim 5 further comprising:
the user selection of the multiple streaming devices includes the selection of the group and an individual selection of a streaming device outside the group.
7. The method of claim 6 further comprising:
the setting change request includes a streaming channel selection from a plurality of streaming channels.
8. A system comprising:
a streaming service configured to implement a remote bulk channel management control for a plurality of streaming devices located at different geographical regions, the streaming service situated at a location remote from the plurality of streaming devices, the remote bulk channel management control configured to:
present a bulk management interface at a user device showing a geographical location and a current channel setting for each of the plurality of streaming devices;
receive a setting change request to set multiple streaming devices from the plurality of streaming devices to a same channel via the bulk management interface; and
implement the setting change request at the multiple streaming devices substantially simultaneously.
9. The system of claim 8 comprising the remote bulk management control further configured to:
receive a bulk management request associated with a user identifier;
present the bulk management interface in response to the bulk management request; and
determine the plurality of streaming devices as devices associated with the user identifier.
10. The system of claim 8 further comprising:
the setting change request includes an indication of a user selection of the multiple streaming devices, the multiple streaming devices being a number less than or equal to the plurality of streaming devices.
11. The system of claim 10 comprising the remote bulk management control further configured to:
group the plurality of streaming devices into a plurality of groups in the bulk management interface; and
the user selection of the multiple streaming devices includes a selection of a group to select all streaming devices within the group.
12. The system of claim 11 comprising the remote bulk management control further configured to:
the user selection of the multiple streaming devices includes the selection of the group and an individual selection of a streaming device outside the group.
13. The system of claim 8 comprising the remote bulk management control further configured to:
the setting change request includes a streaming channel selection from a plurality of streaming channels.
14. A memory device storing instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform a method comprising:
implementing a remote bulk channel management control for a plurality of streaming devices situated at different geographic locations via a streaming service, including:
presenting a bulk management interface at a user device showing a geographical location and a current channel setting for each of the plurality of streaming devices;
receiving a setting change request to set multiple streaming devices from the plurality of streaming devices to a same channel via the bulk management interface; and
implementing the setting change request at the multiple streaming devices substantially simultaneously.
15. The memory device of claim 14 storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform the method further comprising:
receiving a bulk management request associated with a user identifier; and
presenting the bulk management interface in response to the bulk management request.
16. The memory device of claim 15 storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform the method further comprising:
determining the plurality of streaming devices as devices associated with the user identifier.
17. The memory device of claim 14 storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform the method further comprising:
the setting change request includes an indication of a user selection of the multiple streaming devices, the multiple streaming devices being a number less than or equal to the plurality of streaming devices.
18. The memory device of claim 17 storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform the method further comprising:
grouping the plurality of streaming devices into a plurality of groups in the bulk management interface; and
the user selection of the multiple streaming devices includes a selection of a group to select all streaming devices within the group.
19. The memory device of claim 18 storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform the method further comprising:
the user selection of the multiple streaming devices includes the selection of the group and an individual selection of a streaming device outside the group.
20. The memory device of claim 14 storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform the method further comprising:
the setting change request includes a streaming channel selection from a plurality of streaming channels.
