URL replication for live broadcast streaming

A live stream system, comprising:

• memory configured to store executable instructions;
• a processor configured by the executable instructions to:
• divide a live broadcast stream from a broadcaster device into one or more media segments;
• generate a broadcast manifest that identifies the media segments via one or more segment identifiers;
• generate an original manifest uniform resource locator (URL) associated with the broadcast manifest and a duplicate manifest URL associated with the broadcast manifest, wherein the original manifest URL and the duplicate manifest URL are different text strings;
• upload the broadcast manifest and the media segments to a cache system to make the broadcast manifest accessible via either the original manifest URL or the duplicate manifest URL and the media segments accessible via either the original manifest URL in combination with the segment identifiers or the duplicate manifest URL in combination with the segment identifiers;
• monitor a number of URL sharing content in a social network system, wherein the URL sharing content identifies the original manifest URL or a duplicate thereof;
• and
• generate an additional duplicate manifest URL in response to detecting an increase in the number of the URL sharing content above a threshold.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• divide a broadcast stream from a broadcaster device into one or more media segments;
• generate a broadcast manifest that identifies the media segments via one or more segment identifiers;
• generate an original manifest uniform resource locator (URL) associated with the broadcast manifest and a duplicate manifest URL associated with the broadcast manifest, wherein the original manifest URL and the duplicate manifest URL are different text strings;
• upload the broadcast manifest and the media segments to a cache system to make the broadcast manifest accessible via either the original manifest URL or the duplicate manifest URL and the media segments accessible via either the original manifest URL in combination with the segment identifiers or the duplicate manifest URL in combination with the segment identifiers;
• monitor a number of URL sharing content in a social network system, wherein the URL sharing content identifies the original manifest URL or a duplicate thereof;
• and
• generate an additional duplicate manifest URL in response to detecting an increase in the number of the URL sharing content above a threshold.
