US 12,744,952 B1 · Computer-implemented methods for generation of a manifest for a video

Abstract

Techniques for generating a manifest, for a multimedia file, that utilizes a hierarchical data structure with (i) nodes for the manifest request parameters and (ii) the instructions for how to generate a manifest based on that manifest request parameter included within the node are described. According to some examples, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a content delivery service from a media player device, a manifest request comprising a plurality of manifest request parameters for a media file; determining, by the content delivery service, a first node of a tree data structure based on a first manifest request parameter of the plurality of manifest request parameters of the manifest request; determining, by the content delivery service, a second node of the tree data structure based on a second manifest request parameter of the plurality of manifest request parameters of the manifest request; determining, by the content delivery service, a third node of the tree data structure based on the first manifest request parameter and the second manifest request parameter of the plurality of manifest request parameters of the manifest request; determining, by the content delivery service, a first manifest instruction from the first node, a second manifest instruction from the second node, and a third manifest instruction from the third node; generating, by the content delivery service, a manifest for the media file based on the first manifest instruction, the second manifest instruction, and the third manifest instruction; and sending, by the content delivery service, the manifest to the media player device.
