Abstract
Updated bookmark associations is described. In embodiment(s), a bookmark save event can be received from a media device when a bookmark is initiated while a video stream of media content is rendered by the media device, such as when the bookmark save event is initiated by a viewer at the media device. A bookmark definition that correlates the bookmark with the media content from which it was initiated can be determined and maintained. Contextual aspects of the bookmark can then be determined to identify bookmark associated items that are associated with the media content. Additional bookmark definitions that each correlate a bookmark associated item with the bookmark can also be determined. When a request for the bookmark is received, the bookmark definitions can be updated along with the bookmark associated items.
