US 2023/0412899 A1 · METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND APPARATUSES FOR UPDATING CONTENT DATA

Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for updating content data are described herein. Content data may include, for example, manifest files and captions data. A manifest file for a content item may need to be updated when new segments are available for delivery/output. Rather than retrieving an entirely new manifest file, a first manifest file previously received may be updated using a manifest update file(s). The manifest update file(s) may convey any change(s), difference(s), etc., between the first manifest file and the new manifest file that includes content data for the new segments. Captions data may be updated in a similar manner. A captions update may include new captions data corresponding to the new segments, but it may exclude common captions data.
