Video advertising insertion using multiple processes

A method of inserting video advertising, comprising:

• receiving multiple video program channels in at least one first video transport stream;
• accessing an advertising schedule and a plurality of video advertisements;
• executing a host process on at least one hardware processor, the host process to initiate a plurality of instance processes to execute concurrently on the at least one hardware processor, each of the instance processes being assigned a distinct subset of the multiple video program channels, each of the instance processes to:
• analyze the at least one first video transport stream to determine advertisement insertion points of the distinct subset of the multiple video program channels;
• and
• insert at least some of the plurality of video advertisements into the distinct subset of the multiple video program channels based on the advertisement insertion points and the advertising schedule;
• and
• transmitting the multiple video program channels with the inserted video advertisements in at least one second video transport stream.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one hardware processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• receiving multiple video program channels in at least one first video transport stream;
• accessing an advertising schedule and a plurality of video advertisements;
• executing a host process to initiate a plurality of instance processes, each of the instance processes being assigned a distinct subset of the multiple video program channels, each of the instance processes to:
• analyze the at least one first video transport stream to determine advertisement insertion points of the distinct subset of the multiple video program channels;
• and
• insert at least some of the plurality of video advertisements into the distinct subset of the multiple video program channels based on the advertisement insertion points and the advertising schedule;
• and
• transmitting the multiple video program channels with the inserted video advertisements in at least one second video transport stream.
