<p>A method for managing distribution of video includes receiving a plurality of video data streams from a plurality of video data source devices associated with a group. Each video data stream includes a plurality of video frames and a plurality of metadata fields. The video data streams is parsed to extract the video frames and information comprising the plurality of metadata fields. A common group metadata stream is generated which includes metadata information from the plurality of metadata fields. The common group metadata stream is communicated to user equipment devices (UEDs) operated by users who may have an interest in video streams. Upon receipt of a demand for a first user video stream based on information contained in the common group metadata stream, a first user video stream is generated and communicates to a UED.</p> |
