Abstract

A content streaming system and methodology for facilitating the management of content streaming. A video packaging and origination service requests streaming content that is organized according to content segments. Individual content segments will be encoded according to a plurality of encoding profiles and received at different ingress nodes within video packaging and origination service. The video packaging and origination service utilizes deterministic data generated by the different ingress nodes to determine when receipt of individual content segments is complete.

Claims19

Dependent claims

A system to manage streaming content comprising:

one or more computing devices associated with a content management system, wherein the content management system is configured to:
transmit a request for streaming content encoded according to a plurality of encoding profiles that includes a first encoding profile and a second encoding profile, wherein the streaming content is organized into a set of segments associated with the encoding profiles;
one or more computing devices associated with a first ingress component, wherein the first ingress component is configured to:
obtain at a first ingress node a first set of segments encoded according to the first encoding profile;
and
identify deterministic data associated with the first set of segments;
one or more computing devices associated with a second ingress component wherein the second ingress component is configured to:
obtain at a second ingress node a second set of segments encoded according to the second encoding profile, the first ingress node different from the second ingress node;
and
identify deterministic data associated with the second set of segments;
wherein the content management system is further configured to delay designation of streaming content availability for transmission to user devices based on a determination that the deterministic data for the first and second sets of segments indicates that the first and second sets of segments are not same content segments that have been encoded according to different encoding profiles.
