    identifying, based on the received metadata, second presentable content corresponding to the first presentable content, the second presentable content available from a second subscription service and having a second type different from the first type, wherein identifying second presentable content corresponding to the first presentable content includes searching, based on the received metadata, presentable content associated with the second subscription service for the second presentable content; and
