  • System and Method for Assembling and Playing a Composite Audiovisual Program Using Single-Action Content Selection Gestures and Content Stream Generation
    Publication number: 20190109882
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a composite audiovisual program for rendering by a video player. The method includes receiving a request for available program segments and sending information relating to the available program segments. Selection information corresponding to selected ones of the available program segments that have been selected for inclusion in a play queue is also received. Available program segments may be selected in response to a single gesture provided through a user interface of an application program including the video player. The method further includes receiving requests for a sequence of segment files identified by variant playlist information associated with the selected ones of the available program segments. The sequence of segment files may be provided by a media repository such that the sequence of segment files are rendered by the video player without buffering between the selected ones of the available program segments.
