1. A method for monitoring and visualizing segmentation messages of a digital video stream, comprising:
at an electronic device comprising one or more processors and a display:
monitoring a digital video stream comprising segmentation messages;
detecting a segmentation message of the digital video stream;
determining a validity status of the segmentation message; and
displaying a graphical representation of the digital video stream;
displaying a graphical representation of the segmentation message, wherein:
a position of the graphical representation of the segmentation message with respect to the graphical representation of the digital video stream indicates a temporal position of the segmentation message in a sequence of segmentation messages; and
a visual characteristic of the graphical representation of the segmentation message indicates the determined validity status of the segmentation message.
