  • Publication number: 20180376206
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a server, a first content item and a second content item from a content source. The first content item is distinct from the second content item. The method includes generating, at the server, a modified content item by combining a first portion of the first content item and a second portion of the second content item. The method includes initiating transmission of the modified content from the server to a first device. The method also includes, after a first portion of the modified content item is transmitted, initiating transmission of a second portion of the modified content item from the server to a second device distinct from the first device. The second portion is subsequent to the first portion in a playback order of the modified content item.
