Transport stream automatic change over

An output server, comprising:

• a memory arrangement;
• and
• a processor configured to demux a first transport streams and generate a first portion of an output based on the first transport stream by remuxing the demuxed first transport stream, the processor further configured to select a second transport stream from a plurality of transport streams and synchronize first packets of the first transport stream to second packets of the second transport stream based on a completed progression of a content item using the first transport stream, the processor further configured to determine a location in the second transport stream corresponding to an initial second transport stream frame subsequent to a final frame represented by the completed progression of the content item using the first transport stream, the processor further configured to generate a second portion of the output based on the second transport stream starting at the initial second transport stream frame by remuxing at least a portion of the demuxed second transport stream, the processor being further configured to apply a first rebasing value to the second transport stream when generating the second portion of the output, wherein the first rebasing value is based on a difference between a program timestamp (PTS) of the first transport stream and the second transport stream relative to a PTS of the output.
