Abstract
Live streaming video content is processed and stored for real-time delivery of the content, future VoD viewing of the content, and time-shifted viewing of the content, by manipulating a common manifest or playlist. Previously stored content may be reordered and/or recombined in order to provide a personalized content viewing experience.

A method for rendering content, the content available in one or more distinct encodings each including a respective set of sequential segments, comprising:
- proxying a manifest request from a media player to a content server;
- selecting a preferred encoding for requested content to be delivered;
- determining a set of npvr manifests required to satisfy the content request and obtaining a selected one of the set of npvr manifests associated with the selected encoding, the npvr manifests specifying locations of segments of the respective encodings;
- constructing a variant manifest from the selected npvr manifest;
- and
- providing the variant manifest to the media player for use in obtaining the segments of the respective encoding for playback of the content.
