Systems and methods of orchestrated networked application services

A server system executing a virtualized third-party application, the server system comprising one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:

• transmitting, from the virtualized third-party application to a client device that is distinct from the server system, an instruction for the client device to open a media resource, at the client device, from a content distribution network associated with the third-party application that is distinct from the server system, the media resource comprising a plurality of video segments, each video segment of the plurality of video segments having video segment data and metadata;
• receiving, from the client device:
• (i) a status indication that the media resource was opened at the client device, and (ii) first metadata for a first video segment of the plurality of video segments, without receiving first video segment data for the first video segment;
• generating a recreated representation of the first video segment using the first metadata without having access to the first video segment data;
• generating, by the virtualized third-party application, a transformed version of the recreated representation of the first video segment;
• and
• transmitting, to the client device, an instruction to play the first video segment, wherein the instruction is based on the transformed version of the recreated representation of the first video segment.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of a server system executing a virtualized third-party application, the one or more programs including instructions for:

• transmitting, from the virtualized third-party application to a client device that is distinct from the server system, an instruction for the client device to open a media resource, at the client device, from a content distribution network associated with the third-party application that is distinct from the server system, the media resource comprising a plurality of video segments, each video segment of the plurality of video segments having video segment data and metadata;
• receiving, from the client device:
• (i) a status indication that the media resource was opened at the client device, and (ii) first metadata for a first video segment of the plurality of video segments, without receiving first video segment data for the first video segment;
• generating a recreated representation of the first video segment using the first metadata without having access to the first video segment data;
• generating, by the virtualized third-party application, a transformed version of the recreated representation of the first video segment;
• and
• transmitting, to the client device, an instruction to play the first video segment, wherein the instruction is based on the transformed version of the recreated representation of the first video segment.
