Shot-based view files for trick play mode in a network-based video delivery system

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• receiving a request from a client computing device for a media title being streamed to the client computing device for playback;
• in response to the request, determining a first sequence of video frames of the media title, wherein the first sequence of video frames corresponds to a first set of video frames continuously captured at a first point of view;
• sending the first sequence of video frames to the client computing device for playback;
• and
• sending at least one of:
• a first representative image for the first sequence of video frames, or
• a second representative image for a second sequence of video frames included in the media title, wherein the second sequence of video frames corresponds to a first set of video frames continuously captured at a second point of view.

A system, comprising:

• a memory that stores instructions;
• and
• a processor that is coupled to the memory and, when executing the instructions, performs the steps of:
• receiving a request from a client computing device for a media title being streamed to the client computing device for playback;
• in response to the request, determining a first sequence of video frames of the media title, wherein the first sequence of video frames corresponds to a first set of video frames continuously captured at a first point of view;
• sending the first sequence of video frames to the client computing device for playback;
• and
• sending at least one of:
• a first representative image for the first sequence of video frames, or
• a second representative image for a second sequence of video frames included in the media title, wherein the second sequence of video frames corresponds to a first set of video frames continuously captured at a second point of view.
