Abstract: Provided is a system that includes a circuit to generate an interactive item based on a request received from a first distribution network or a second distribution network. The interactive item is overlaid over a media item present in media content. The circuit then activates the generated interactive item overlaid over the media item of the media content. Further, the circuit receives an event trigger, from a client application engine operational on a user device associated with a user, for a selection of the activated interactive item. A personalized list is generated for the event trigger for the selection of the interactive item. Further, the generated personalized list is transmitted for a display for a defined time duration, to one of the first distribution network, the second distribution network or the client application engine operational on the user device.

Abstract: A media presentation and distribution system (MPDS) that handles rules-based presentation of non-programming media items, receives a user request (which includes user parameters) for delivery of programming media content at a first client device and transmits a media stream that includes the programming media content with a plurality of identifiers present with the programming media content. The MPDS further receives a request that includes one or more user preferences from the first client device, based on a detection of the plurality of identifiers. The MPDS further determines a set of non-programming media items for delivery to the first client device. The MPDS further controls presentation of a part of the media stream on a second client device that is paired with the first client device based on a movement of the second client device in a communication range of the second client device with the first client 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: Provided is a system that includes a memory for storing instructions and a circuitry for executing instructions for management and delivery of OTT services over different content-streaming systems. The circuitry determines a media item in media content of a distribution network. An interactive item is overlaid over the media item in the media content of the distribution network. A personalized list is further generated based on a selection of the interactive item overlaid over the media item in the media content of the distribution network The circuitry further selects a user-selectable option in the generated personalized list with the media content on a client application engine for a defined time duration and determines a measure of an intent score of the user.

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 server-side dynamic insertion of programming content in an indexed disparate live media output stream. 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. 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 is provided for generating a live output stream manifest based on an event. Each of a set of discrete service engines ingest a portion of a programming schedule comprising a playlist of media content. Based on processing of source manifests encapsulated by the media content, a collection of disparate manifest units is obtained. The collection of disparate manifest units is stored as indexed disparate manifest units in a data store based on a set of indexing parameters. Based on an event including a set of indexed disparate manifest units retrieved from the data store, a live output stream manifest is generated during a current iteration in response to a client request comprising a set of client request parameters. The retrieval of the set of indexed disparate manifest units is performed just-in-time based on a query that corresponds to the set of client request parameters.

Abstract: A system is provided for creation of channel to support legacy video-on-demand (VOD) systems. The system comprises a memory for storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions. Based on the executed instructions, the processor is further configured to receive a playout schedule that corresponds to a live video feed of a first channel. A plurality of segments of the live video feed is stored in the memory based on a version specified in the playout schedule. A second channel comprising VOD content assets is generated based on the live video feed of the first channel, one or more scheduling rules received in the playout schedule that corresponds to the live video feed, and the version of the plurality of segments of the live video feed. Based on the playout schedule, an encoded second channel is transmitted to a plurality of multichannel video program distributors (MVPDs).

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.
