摘要

A method and system to trigger ingestion of remote content or playlists by a streaming server us-ing URL folder mapping is disclosed. The streaming server maintains a URL Map having entries that map a URL folder referenced in the streaming URL to a con-tent server folder located on the content server. This folder level mapping enables maintaining a many- to -many relationship between multiple content identified at the streaming server and their corresponding content located at the content server.
