Disparate live media output stream playout and broadcast distribution

A method, comprising:

• generating, by one or more processors, a new version of a disparate live media output stream manifest based on insertion of an indicator of a segment from a plurality of segments of at least one of a pre-encoded media asset or a live input stream into the disparate live media output stream manifest,
• wherein each segment of the plurality of segments corresponds to a different quality level and a different content encryption mode, and
• wherein the segment corresponds to broadcast content segment encoded in a first encoding format of the new version of the disparate live media output stream manifest;
• and
• converting, by the one or more processors, the broadcast content segment encoded in the first encoding format to a second encoding format in accordance with a broadcasting protocol.

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

• generating a new version of a disparate live media output stream manifest based on insertion of a plurality of segments of at least one of a pre-encoded media asset or a live input stream into the disparate live media output stream manifest,
• wherein each segment of the plurality of segments corresponds to a different quality level and a different content encryption mode, and
• wherein the plurality of segments corresponds to broadcast content segments encoded in a first encoding format of the new version of the disparate live media output stream manifest;
• and
• converting the broadcast content segments encoded in the first encoding format to a second encoding format in accordance with a broadcasting protocol.

A computer program product including one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause one or more processors to:

• generate a new version of a disparate live media output stream manifest based on insertion of an indicator of a segment from a plurality of segments of at least one of a pre-encoded media asset or a live input stream into the disparate live media output stream manifest,
• wherein each segment of the plurality of segments corresponds to a different quality level and a different content encryption mode, and
• wherein the plurality of segments corresponds to a broadcast content segment encoded in a first encoding format of the new version of the disparate live media output stream manifest;
• and
• convert the broadcast content segment encoded in the first encoding format to a second encoding format in accordance with a broadcasting protocol.
