Abstract: A system is provided that determines a media item for an insertion in a first media feed of a first channel based on a pre-encoded media content, metadata related to the pre-encoded media content, and audience-based parameters. The audience-based parameters comprise demographics data, targeted audience data, device type data, and trending information that includes media items based on current trend in a social network platform. Each media segment of the pre-encoded media content corresponds to a different quality level and content encryption mode. A second channel is generated from the first channel based on the audience-based parameters, the media item inserted in the first media feed, and a second programming schedule. The second programming schedule corresponds to a modified first programming schedule based on the audience-based parameters. Based on at least the media item, the second media feed of the second channel is generated for distribution to a consumer device.

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. The program identifier is associated with a programming content and is referenced in a published first programming schedule with respect to a playback position in the published first programming schedule. The published first programming schedule comprises a functionality enabled via constraints and rights associated with an indexed first disparate live media output stream.

Abstract: A system and a method is provided for publishing a disparate live media output stream that complies with distribution format regulations. The system includes a memory for storing instructions and a processor that executes the instructions. Based on the instructions, the processor is manipulates a manifest of a live input stream based on a media segment identified for an edit. The manipulation of the manifest corresponds to removal of references to the media segment prior to a live event start indicator and after a live event end indicator, maintenance of indicators that mark locations of a non-programming content, and removal of duration information and referenced media segment that corresponds to originally scheduled non-programming content. A pre-encoded media asset is generated for a repeated playback based on the manipulation of the manifest of the live input stream.

Abstract: Provided is a system for publishing disparate live media output streams using live input streams. The system switches between a first live input stream indicated in a first live input stream manifest from a first regional network and a second live input stream indicated in a second live input stream manifest from a second regional network at scheduled time stamps based on a type of an event in the first live input stream manifest. Based on the switching between the first live input stream and the second live input stream, an updated first disparate live media output stream is generated.

Abstract: A system is provided for generating a live media segment asset. Manifest data and indexed metadata are inserted to a live media segment asset manifest based on an identifier in a received request. The indexed metadata is associated with a media segment from an indexed media content referenced in a first programming schedule. A live media segment asset is generated based on a context parameter and the insertion of the manifest data and the indexed metadata. The indexed media content is referenced by the identifier for the generation of the live media segment asset.

Abstract: A system is provided that determines a media item for an insertion in a first media feed of a first channel based on at least a pre-encoded media content, metadata related to the pre-encoded media content, and audience-based parameters. The audience-based parameters include content recognition-based information that corresponds to a live feed of one of a plurality of channels. Each of a plurality of media segments of the pre-encoded media content corresponds to a different quality level and content encryption mode. Based on the audience-based parameters, the media item inserted in the first media feed, and a second programming schedule, a second channel is generated from the first channel. The second programming schedule corresponds to a modified first programming schedule based on the content recognition-based information. Based on at least the media item, a second media feed of the second channel is generated for distribution to a consumer device.

Abstract: A system is provided for publishing a plurality of disparate live media output stream manifests using live input streams and pre-encoded media assets. A first instruction, comprising input manifest locations, is allocated to a first worker based on an instruction type and a priority level. At least one of a first manifest data or a second manifest data is read by the first worker from a corresponding input manifest location. A second instruction is allocated to a second worker. A next manifest segment is inserted to a disparate live output stream manifest by the second worker based on reading an ingested manifest metadata. Accordingly, a plurality of disparate live media output stream manifests is generated for each of a plurality of channels based on the disparate live output stream manifest.

Abstract: A system is provided for generating a live media segment asset. Manifest data and indexed metadata are inserted to a live media segment asset manifest based on an identifier in a received request. The indexed metadata is associated with a media segment from an indexed media content referenced in a first programming schedule. A live media segment asset is generated based on a context parameter and the insertion of the manifest data and the indexed metadata.

Abstract: A graphics verification system that handles content of a channel in a broadcast chain, partitions an on-screen view of the channel into a plurality of sections based on an overlay of a plurality of graphics on the on-screen view of the channel. The content may comprise media content and may include video, audio and/or ancillary data that is associated with any portion of a particular content. A placement of each of the overlaid plurality of graphics in the plurality of sections is determined with respect to associated content on the on-screen view of the channel. The placement is determined based on a concurrent look-up of the overlaid plurality of graphics in the plurality of sections and the associated content. The concurrent look-up is based on fingerprints or watermarks of the plurality of graphics and the associated content. One or more error parameters are detected based on the determined placement.

Abstract: A stream playout and distribution system is provided for disparate live media output stream playout and broadcast distribution. The system generates a new version of a disparate live media output stream manifest based on insertion of a plurality of segments 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 of the plurality of segments corresponds to a different quality level and a different content encryption mode. The plurality of segments corresponds to broadcast content segments encoded in a first encoding format of the new version of the disparate live media output stream manifest. The system converts the broadcast content segments encoded in the first encoding format to a second encoding format in accordance with a broadcasting protocol.

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 that defines locations and types of one or more decision points defined by one or more content placement opportunities in an indexed metadata based on one or more factors. The system further controls publishing of one or more pre-encoded media asset manifests as a first disparate live media output stream manifest based on a schedule of one or more pre-encoded media assets and the one or more decision points defined in the first programming schedule.

Abstract: Provided is a system that identifies a tag in a media content of a media stream based on a user-attribute of a client device. A candidate time-period is identified in a playback duration of the media content based on the identified tag in the media content. Based on a degree of correlation between the identified tag in the media content and a corresponding context for the media content at the candidate time-period, an overlay-graphic item corresponding to the identified tag is presented at the candidate time-period in the media content.

Abstract: A system is provided for managing a pre-encoded media asset for immediate playback. The system generates, based on a receipt of an initial manifest request from a first client device, an initial pre-encoded media asset manifest that comprises an initial set of programming content segments. The generated initial pre-encoded media asset manifest, as a first disparate live media output stream manifest, is communicated to a media player of the first client device via a content delivery system for an immediate playback of a pre-encoded media asset. The system assigns a unique SID to the first client device to record a session of the first client device for a subsequent manifest request or a final manifest request associated with the initial manifest request. A final pre-encoded media asset manifest is generated upon a receipt of the subsequent manifest request from the first client device based on a defined criterion.
