Abstract: A system, apparatus and method for distributed adaptive streaming packaging can include a plurality of distributed adaptive streaming packagers having one or more processors configured to perform the functions of identifying one or more media segments in one or more input signals, identifying one or more latest media segment presentation times in the one or more media segments, Identifying one or more latest media segment presentation durations in the in the one or more media segments, adding each of the one or more latest media segment presentation times to each of the one or more latest media segment presentation durations in the input signal to compute one or more calculated publish times. The system or method can further include choosing one of the one or more publish times as the media presentation publish time and generating a media presentation based on the media presentation publish time.

Abstract: A system and method for delivery and caching of media presentations is provided. The system includes client, a video origin server, a manifest generator, a video URL resolver, one or more original, inserted or edited media contents, and one or more personalized manifest files. The video origin server generates personalized media segments based on original, inserted or edited content for delivery to the client, possibly using MPEG-4 metadata. The video URL resolver resolves the encoded URLs that adhere to a structure of a source and output descriptor based on the one or more personalized media segments. The manifest generator then produces the one or more personalized manifest files containing the one or more encoded URLs A compositor converts the one or more encoded URLs adhering to the structure of source and output descriptor to the one or more personalized segments. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A system and method for video presentation delivery with edited and/or inserted content based on adaptive bit-rate streaming is provided. It does not incur large additional storage costs or introduce playback vulnerability to inconsistent player implementations or ad blocking software. Embodiments include, requesting from a client to a server, a personalized or edited media presentation for delivery, sending there from a personalized or edited media presentation with a continuous timeline based on an adaptive bit-rate video streaming protocol such as MPEG DASH or HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), a video server module that converts data based on the MPEG-4 ISO Base Media File format to an adaptive bit-rate video streaming protocol presentation, a module for converting an XML based media presentation, such as in the synchronized media integration language (SMIL), to the MPEG-4 ISO Base Media File Format with a continuous timeline maintained by inserting additional audio samples.
