Abstract: A media presentation and distribution system is communicatively coupled to a client device, which handles presentation of overlay-graphic items at the client device. The client device receives a media stream from the media presentation and distribution system via a network. The received media stream includes media content and one or more tags. The client device further identifies in the received media content, the one or more tags, which corresponds to the overlay-graphic items. The client device further identifies candidate time-periods in the media content based on the identified one or more tags in the media content. At least one presentation attribute for the overlay-graphic items is identified based on the identified one or more tags in the media content. The client device further presents the overlay-graphic items at the candidate time-periods om the media content based on the identified at least presentation attribute.

Abstract: A system is provided for publishing a disparate per-client live media output stream based on dynamic insertion of targeted non-programming content and customized programming content. The system generates a first programming schedule based on one or more live input stream manifests or one or more pre-encoded media asset manifests selected based on one or more parameters, associated indexed metadata, and first additional content. The first programming schedule defines locations and types of decision points defined by one or more content placement opportunities. Based on schedule of one or more pre-encoded media assets and insertion of decision points, the first programming schedule controls publish of pre-encoded media asset manifests as first disparate live media output stream manifest, which is published for first client device based on insertion of the one or more live input stream manifests or one or more pre-encoded media asset manifests, associated indexed metadata, and first additional content.

A first programming schedule is published that comprises a functionality that is enabled via constraints and rights associated with a first disparate live media output stream. At least one of the first disparate live media output stream is altered or a second disparate live media output stream is generated based on an insertion of manifest data and indexed metadata of a programming content, associated with a program identifier referenced in the first programming schedule, to the first disparate live media output stream manifest in accordance with the functionality. The altered first disparate live media output stream or the generated second disparate live media output stream comprises an updated playback position.

Abstract: A system is provided for client-side dynamic presentation of programming content in indexed disparate live media output stream. In response to a client request, an updated playback position is presented in at least one of an altered first disparate live media output stream or a generated second disparate live media output stream at a client interface based on an insertion of manifest data and indexed metadata associated with a program identifier.

Abstract: Disparate live output stream manifests are generated based on user selection. When current media programming content in an existing first disparate live media output stream is streamed on a media player, a processor determine a set of alternate live input streams and/or a pre-encoded media assets, and associated alternate live media output manifests and/or pre-encoded media asset manifests, respectively, based on parameters and metadata associated with the existing first disparate live media output stream. Based on an indicator in an existing first disparate live media output stream manifest, alternate content options are transmitted to the media player. A response is received corresponding to a selected alternate live input stream and/or a pre-encoded media asset. An updated first disparate live media output stream manifest is published to a content delivery system, which includes one of the alternate live input stream manifest associated with the selected alternate live input stream.

Abstract: A system is provided for concurrent presentation of non-programming media assets with programming media content at a client device. The client device receives a response for occurrence of an event opportunity point from the media presentation and distribution system based on a selection criteria for the event opportunity point. A display view of the client device is modified, and a non-programming media asset is presented from a second media stream for a defined duration and different version of the programming media content in first partition, concurrently with the programming media content over second partition. The different version of the programming media content corresponds to the programming media content encoded based on a region within the modified display view allocated to the first partition. The presentation is based on user preference for specific item in the programming media content and user selection of the non-programming media asset displayed in past engagement.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for publishing a disparate live media output stream that complies with distribution format regulations. The system generates a preview based on a low-latency protocol for a plurality of live input streams. Based on at least one event identified in the preview in real-time, an updated schedule is generated. In accordance with the updated schedule, a disparate live media output stream manifest is generated based on manipulation of manifests of the plurality of live input streams and pre-encoded media assets.

Abstract: A media content packaging and distribution system that handles distribution of channels to be viewed on consumer devices receives a media feed and a first programming schedule of a first channel from a source device, and receives audience-based parameters from an external data source over a distribution system. Media items to be inserted in the media feed of the first channel are determined based on the audience-based parameters and defined parameters. The determined media items in the media feed of the first channel are dynamically scheduled for delivery over the distribution system to be viewed on one or more of the consumer devices, based on the received audience-based parameters and the defined parameters. The audience-based parameters include demographics data, targeted audience data, and/or device type and the data received from the external data source includes trending information of media items currently trending in one or more social network platforms.

The system generates a plurality of disparate live media output stream manifests, which comprises at least one of an index of a plurality of pre-encoded media assets or a plurality of live input streams, based on playout schedule and content viewing demographics. The system further generates a new version of at least one disparate live media output stream manifest based on insertion of a segment of at least one of a pre-encoded media asset or a live input stream into the disparate live media output stream manifest. Each segment corresponds to a different quality level and a different content encryption mode. The system further retrieves one or more broadcast content segments encoded in first encoding format of the new version, and converts retrieved broadcast content segments to second encoding format.

Abstract: A media presentation and distribution system communicatively coupled to a client device, which handles enablement of a client-side dynamic presentation of at least one non-programming media asset along with programming media content. The client device receives a first media stream of the programming media content in response to a request, associated with at least one user preference for the programming media content, to the media presentation and distribution system. The client device identifies at least one tag in the programming media content and transmits at least one event opportunity point for selection to the media presentation distribution system. Based on the selection, the client device modifies a display view of the client device for a defined duration, and presents the at least one non-programming media asset, from a second media stream for the defined duration, concurrently with the programming media content over the modified display view of the client device.
