Streaming content management

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• under control of one or more computing devices configured with specific computer executable instructions,
• receiving a multi-track data stream comprising a plurality of tracks of a content item, wherein the plurality of tracks comprises:
• a first track comprising first media data encoded in a first format;
• and
• a second track comprising second media data encoded in a second format;
• determining that the first track is associated with an authorization attribute prohibiting the first track from being distributed according to a first distribution protocol of a plurality of distribution protocols, wherein the first distribution protocol comprises storage of a first version of the content item for on-demand distribution;
• generating, using the multi-track data stream, the first version of the content item for distribution according to the first distribution protocol, wherein the first version includes the second track and excludes the first track;
• storing the first version;
• and
• generating, using the multi-track data stream, a second version of the content item for distribution according to a second distribution protocol of the plurality of distribution protocols, wherein the second version includes the first track.

A system comprising:

• computer-readable memory storing executable instructions;
• and
• one or more computing devices in communication with the computer-readable memory and programmed by the executable instructions to at least:
• receive a multi-track data stream comprising a plurality of tracks of a content item, wherein the plurality of tracks comprises:
• a first track comprising first media data encoded in a first format;
• and
• a second track comprising second media data encoded in a second format;
• determine, based on an authorization attribute associated with the first track, that the first track is not to be distributed according to a first distribution protocol of a plurality of distribution protocols, wherein the first distribution protocol comprises storage of a first version of the content item for on-demand distribution;
• generate, using the multi-track data stream, the first version of the content item for distribution according to the first distribution protocol, wherein the first version includes the second track and excludes the first track;
• store the first version;
• generate, using the multi-track data stream, a second version of the content item for distribution according to a second distribution protocol of the plurality of distribution protocols, wherein the second version includes the first track.
