ABR live to VOD system and method

摘要

The disclosed embodiments include a method, apparatus, and computer program product for simplifying the process of creating a video-on-demand system. For example, in one embodiment, a method for creating a video-on-demand (VOD) system is disclosed that includes dynamically capturing segments of an adaptive bit rate (ABR) live stream of the program at time of broadcasting and storing the captured segments of the ABR live stream of the program as a VOD file. The method also includes creating a manifest file comprising information for playing back the VOD file. The method further includes playing back, using the manifest, the VOD file by transmitting the captured ABR segments to a client device in response to receiving a subscriber request for the program.

主权项

1. A method for creating a video-on-demand (VOD) system, the method comprising:
receiving a request to record a program for including the program in the VOD system; determining when the program is to be broadcast; dynamically capturing segments of fragmented-type encoding live stream of the program at a time of broadcasting; storing the captured segments of the fragmented-type encoding live stream of the program; creating a manifest file comprising information for playing back the captured segments; and playing back, using the manifest file, the captured fragmented-type encoding segments to a client device in response to receiving a request to view the program.
