Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing an enhanced Restart Television (TV) service. In some embodiments, a playout device receives a restart TV request for a linear TV content item, where the restart TV request is a request to restart playout of the linear TV content item in an enhanced playout mode of operation. The playout device is further operable to obtain the linear TV content item from a server system, obtain metadata for enhanced playout of the linear TV content item where the metadata defines required playout segments of the linear TV content item, and provide enhanced playout of the linear TV content item. Enhanced playout includes starting playout at a beginning of the linear TV content item and automatically beginning fast-forwarding playout to a first required playout segment defined by the metadata.
