Abstract

A device may receive an indication to determine status information associated with a media content delivery of media content. The media content may be delivered via a content delivery system. The device may determine, based on information provided by devices included in the content delivery system, progress information associated with the media content delivery. The progress information may identify progress, associated with the media content delivery, with respect to one or more steps, associated with delivering the media content, performed by the devices included in the content delivery system. The device may determine the status information, associated with the media content delivery, based on the progress information. The status information may indicate the status of the media content delivery. The device may provide the status information such that the status information may be displayed as a visual indication of the status of the media content delivery.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

receiving, by a device, schedule information associated with a media content delivery,
the schedule information being provided by a scheduler device to a process manager device;
determining, by the device, due date information, associated with the media content delivery, based on the schedule information,
the due date information being associated with a plurality of steps of the media content delivery,
the plurality of steps of the media content delivery being associated with at least two or more delivery steps comprising:
transcoding content via a transcoder device,
syndication delivery via a delivery manager device, or
obtaining license information from a license manager device;
determining, by the device and via a forecasting algorithm, forecast information, associated with the media content delivery, based on the schedule information,
the forecast information identifying an estimation of when each of the plurality of steps of the media content delivery will be completed,
the forecast information being based on a respective minimum amount of time and a respective maximum amount of time associated with each of the plurality of steps of the media content delivery,
the forecast information being based on at least two or more of:
automation conditions being satisfied for the media content delivery,
media content associated with the media content delivery existing in storage, or
license and product information for the media content being available;
providing, by the device, the forecast information;
receiving progress information from a content delivery system associated with the media content delivery,
the progress information being received based on user input associated with a client device, and
the progress information indicating a failure has occurred at one or more of the plurality of steps of the media content delivery;
retriggering the one or more of the plurality of steps of the media content delivery to resolve the failure,
the retriggering occurring without user intervention;
updating, by the device, the forecast information based on the progress information associated with the media content delivery,
the forecast information being updated by re-running the forecast algorithm;
and
providing, by the device and via a user interface, information indicating a status associated with the one or more of the plurality of steps of the media content delivery,
the information including a visual indicator indicating the status of each of the plurality of steps.

the progress information indicating a failure has occurred at one or more of the plurality of steps of the media content delivery;
retrigger the one or more of the plurality of steps of the media content delivery to resolve the failure,
the retriggering occurring without user intervention;
update the forecast information based on progress information associated with the media content delivery,
the forecast information being updated by re-running the forecast algorithm;
and
provide, via a user interface, information indicating a status associated with the one or more of the plurality of steps of the media content delivery,
the information including a visual indicator indicating the status of each of the plurality of steps.
