DYNAMIC CHUNK MANIPULATION FOR STREAMING MIXED LIVE AND ON-DEMAND MEDIA: APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE

摘要

Timestamps for streams of media that transition from one media source to another (such as from live content to on-demand content, and vice versa) can be rewritten by a server to help ensure error-free streaming by the client. Embodiments can coordinate the creation of a client manifest with the dynamic creation of a requested segment of media (i.e., "chunk") to determine how to rewrite timestamps of requested chunks such that they are continuous through the transition.
