Coordinating Content Segmentation

摘要

Methods and systems are disclosed for coordinating segmentation of multiple encoded content streams of a content item. Each content stream may be encoded at one of several bitrates. Methods are disclosed for synchronizing segmentation of content streams of a content item among multiple content segmenters. The methods may allow seamless recovery of segmentation synchronization in the event of lost or misaligned encoder boundary points.

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, a plurality of encoded content streams comprising encodings of a content item; determining a plurality of timing positions, each comprising a boundary point of a corresponding one of the plurality of encoded content streams; selecting a sync point among the plurality of timing positions; determining a relationship between the sync point and each of the plurality of timing positions; and processing, based on the relationship, at least one of the plurality of encoded content streams.
