Content processing apparatus, content processing method, and program

A content processing apparatus, comprising

• an encoding processing unit that
• generates a plurality of distribution segments that are encoded at a plurality of bit rates on a basis of stream data for live distribution,
• generates control information that controls access information for each of the generated distribution segments,
• rewrites access information of the control information for a first distribution segment with access information for a second distribution segment different from the first distribution segment, and
• transfers the distribution segment and the control information to a distribution server.

A content processing method, comprising the steps of:

• generating a plurality of distribution segments that are encoded at a plurality of bit rates on a basis of stream data for live distribution;
• generating control information that controls access information for each of the generated distribution segments;
• rewriting access information of the control information for a first distribution segment with access information for a second distribution segment different from the first distribution segment;
• and
• transferring the distribution segment and the control information to a distribution server.

A program that causes a computer to execute content processing including the steps of:

• generating a plurality of distribution segments that are encoded at a plurality of bit rates on a basis of stream data for live distribution;
• generating control information that controls access information for each of the generated distribution segments;
• rewriting access information of the control information for a first distribution segment with access information for a second distribution segment different from the first distribution segment;
• and
• transferring the distribution segment and the control information to a distribution server.
