Generating ad insertion metadata at program file load time |
| 摘要 |
A method includes submitting one or more digital video program files for storage on behalf of one or more video servers; the act of submitting the video program files triggering logic to scan the program files to identify information about location and duration of ad breaks; storing the video program files and information about the location and duration of the ad breaks in a database external to the video program files in a manner that associates the video program files with corresponding information about the location and duration of the ad breaks, and in a manner that provides the video servers with access to both the video program files and information about the location and duration of the ad breaks; and removing the ad breaks from the video program files prior to streaming the video program files. |

1. A method comprising:
submitting one or more video program file comprising an ad break for storage by one or more video server; the act of submitting the video program file for storage by the video server triggering logic to scan the video program file to identify information about a location of the ad break and a duration of the ad break in the video program file; storing the video program file and information about the location of the ad break and the duration of the ad break in a database external to the video program file in a manner that provides the video server with access to both the video program file and the location of the ad break and the duration of the ad break; associating the video program file with the location of the ad break and the duration of the ad break in the database external to the video program file; removing the ad break from the video program file prior to streaming the video program file from the video server; and wherein the logic to scan the video program file identifies the location of the ad break and the duration of the ad break during generation of fast-scan information for fast forward or rewind of the video program file. |
