Abstract
A control server in communication with one or more a content delivery network (CDN) node and a client device may include a client controller configured to receive a plurality of manifests from the one or more CDN defining a plurality of content segments of a master content available at the CDN, and receive client information from the client device. The control server may generate, based on the client information, synchronized manifests for each of a plurality of client device media players of the client device to control synchronous display at the client device of a plurality of programs selected at the client device.
Claims23
A system for distributed control of segmented media, comprising:
- a control server in communication with one or more content delivery network (CDN) nodes and a client device, the control server including a client controller configured to:
- receive, respectively for a plurality of programs, a manifest from the one or more CDN defining a plurality of content segments of a master content available at the CDN,
- receive client information from the client device, the client information including a selection of a plurality of programs;
- and
- generate at the control server and transmit to the client device, a plurality of synchronized manifests, based on the client information, such that each of the selected plurality of programs play synchronously at the client device.
