Abstract: A content streaming system and methodology for facilitating the management of content streaming. A video packaging and origination service receives streaming content that is organized according content segments. Individual content segments will be encoded according to a plurality of encoding profiles and received at different ingress nodes within video packaging and origination service. The video packaging and origination service receives requests for streaming content from requesting entities. Sets of encoded content segments are transmitted by egress nodes.

Abstract: A content streaming system and methodology for facilitating the management of content streaming. A video packaging and origination service requests streaming content that is organized according to content segments. Individual content segments will be encoded according to a plurality of encoding profiles and generated by different encoders. The video packaging and origination service utilizes synchronization information provided to the encoders to select individual encoded content segments responsive to the request for streaming content.

Abstract: A content streaming system and methodology for facilitating the management of content streaming. A video packaging and origination service requests streaming content that is organized according to content segments. Individual content segments will be encoded according to a plurality of encoding profiles and generated by different encoders. The video packaging and origination service utilizes synchronization information provided to the encoders to receive redundant encoded content segments responsive to the request for streaming content. The video packaging and origination service can process the received redundant streams.

Abstract: A content streaming system and methodology for facilitating the management of content streaming. A video packaging and origination service requests streaming content that is organized according to content segments. Individual content segments will be encoded according to a plurality of encoding profiles and received at different ingress nodes within video packaging and origination service. The video packaging and origination service utilizes deterministic data generated by the different ingress nodes to determine when receipt of individual content segments is complete.

Abstract: An encoding system that distributes a live stream to end user devices is provided herein. The encoding system automatically detects failed components and implements a failover action to replace the failed component with a backup component in a manner that reduces live stream interruptions. For example, the encoding system can include a network interface that is coupled to an encoder allocated to a live stream. Instead of providing a contribution encoder that transmits the live stream with a location of the allocated encoder, the encoding system can provide the contribution encoder with a location of the network interface. Thus, the contribution encoder can transmit the live stream to the network interface. The network interface can then forward the live stream to the allocated encoder. If the allocated encoder fails, then the network interface can forward the live stream to a backup encoder.

Abstract: A user of a storage system can upload files for a media asset, which can include a high quality media file and various related files. As part of the upload process, the storage system can extract metadata that describes the media asset. The user can specify one or more lifecycle policies to be applied for storage of the asset, and a rules engine can ensure the application of the one or more policies. The rules engine can also enable the use of simple media processing workflows. A filename hashing approach can be used to ensure that the segments and files for the asset are stored in a relatively random and even distribution across the partitions of the storage system. As part of the lifecycle for the asset, the high quality media file can be moved to less expensive storage once transcoding of the asset or another such action occurs.
