Dynamic playout buffer for disparate live media output stream

A method, comprising:

• by one or more processors:
• publishing a first programming schedule that references at least one or more pre-encoded media assets and/or one or more live input streams,
• wherein the published first programming schedule comprises one or more playout buffer features enabled via one or more constraints and rights, and
• wherein each playout buffer feature of the one or more playout buffer features is associated with a corresponding number of media segments that represents the one or more pre-encoded media assets and/or the one or more live input streams;
• receiving a request that comprises at least a stream identifier and at least an additional parameter;
• inserting manifest data and indexed metadata of one or more media segments associated with the stream identifier to a first disparate live media output stream manifest in accordance with a playout buffer feature from the one or more playout buffer features and at least the additional parameter;
• and
• generating a first disparate live media output stream based on the insertion of the manifest data and indexed metadata to the first disparate live media output stream manifest.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer implemented instruction that when executed by a processor in a computer, causes the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• publishing a first programming schedule that references at least one or more pre-encoded media assets and/or one or more live input streams,
• wherein the published first programming schedule comprises one or more playout buffer features enabled via one or more constraints and rights, and
• wherein each playout buffer feature of the one or more playout buffer features is associated with a corresponding number of media segments that represents the one or more pre-encoded media assets and/or the one or more live input streams;
• receiving a request that comprises at least a stream identifier and at least an additional parameter;
• inserting manifest data and indexed metadata of one or more media segments associated with the stream identifier to a first disparate live media output stream manifest in accordance with a playout buffer feature from the one or more playout buffer features and at least the additional parameter;
• and
• generating a first disparate live media output stream based on the insertion of the manifest data and indexed metadata to the first disparate live media output stream manifest.
