Monitoring streaming media content

摘要

Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to monitor streaming media content are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein to monitor streaming media content comprises extracting first metering data from media content to be provided to a content presentation device via a transport stream, the first metering data identifying at least one of the media content or a source of the media content, combining the first metering data with second metering data obtained independently of the media content, the combined metering data not being decodable by a meter associated with the content presentation device, and transcoding the combined metering data to form transcoded metering data having a format decodable by the meter associated with the content presentation device.

1. A method to monitor streaming media, the method comprising:
extracting, by executing an instruction with a processor, first metering data from first media to be provided to a media presentation device via a transport stream, the first metering data identifying at least one of the first media or a source of the first media; combining, by executing an instruction with the processor, the first metering data with second metering data obtained independently of the first media to form combined metering data, the combined metering data not being decodable by a meter associated with the media presentation device; transcoding the combined metering data, by executing an instruction with the processor, to form transcoded metering data having a format decodable by the meter associated with the media presentation device; encoding the transcoded metering data into a metadata channel associated with the transport stream; and streaming the transport stream and the metadata channel to the media presentation device.
