Publishing a disparate live media output stream using pre-encoded media assets

A method, comprising:

• inserting, by one or more processors, additional information from a second pre-encoded media asset indicated in a second manifest into a live output stream manifest,
• wherein the live output stream manifest comprises information related to a plurality of media segments from a first pre-encoded media asset indicated in a first manifest;
• determine, by the one or more processors, a transition point between one or more first media segments of the plurality of media segments that are from a first data source to one or more second media segments of the plurality of media segments that are from a second data source different from the first data source,
• wherein the transition point is based on the additional information;
• and
• generating, by the one or more processors, a disparate live media output stream based on (i) the transition point between the one or more first media segments and the one or more second media segments and (ii) an insertion of the information related to the plurality of media segments from the first pre-encoded media asset indicated in the first manifest into the live output stream manifest at one or more defined intervals,
• wherein a defined interval from the defined intervals, for the insertion of the information related to the plurality of media segments from the first pre- encoded media asset indicated in the first manifest into the live output stream manifest, is less than a duration of a previous media segment.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer executable instruction that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• inserting, into a live output stream manifest comprising information related to a plurality of media segments from a first pre-encoded media asset indicated in a first manifest, additional information from a second pre-encoded media asset indicated in a second manifest;
• determine a transition point between one or more first media segments of the plurality of media segments that are from a first data source and one or more second media segments of the plurality of media segments that are from a second data source different from the first data source, wherein the transition point is based on the additional information;
• and
• generating a disparate live media output stream based on (i) the transition point between the one or more first media segments and the one or more second media segments and (ii) an insertion of the information related to the plurality of media segments from the first pre-encoded media asset indicated in the first manifest into the live output stream manifest at one or more defined intervals,
• wherein a defined interval from the one or more defined intervals, for the insertion of the information related to at least the plurality of media segments from the first pre-encoded media asset indicated in the first manifest into the live output stream manifest, is less than a duration of a previous media segment.
