Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described for delivering streams of media content in ways that maintain compatibility among different streaming protocols for inserting secondary content into the streams of media content. This is accomplished by encoding media content the same for each streaming protocol but generating different output groups based on each streaming protocol.

(canceled)
A system comprising one or more memories and one or more processors configured for:
- receiving live source media content comprising a plurality of frames, wherein the live source media content comprises one or more content markers at one or more frames indicating locations to insert secondary content;
- encoding the live source media content to generate an encoded plurality of frames in a single encoding operation, wherein the encoded plurality of frames includes one or more encoded frames, wherein the one or more encoded frames are each associated with corresponding one or more content markers;
- outputting a first sequence of segments based on the encoded plurality of frames, wherein at least one first segment of the first sequence of segments has a first duration based on one of the content markers;
- and
- outputting a second sequence of segments based on the same encoded plurality of frames, wherein each segment of the second sequence has a second duration that is constant, wherein the second duration is different from the first duration, wherein the first and second sequences maintain compatibility between different streaming formats.

A method, comprising:
- receiving live source media content comprising a plurality of frames, wherein the live source media content comprises one or more content markers at one or more frames indicating locations to insert secondary content;
- encoding the live source media content to generate an encoded plurality of frames in a single encoding operation, wherein the encoded plurality of frames includes one or more encoded frames, wherein the one or more encoded frames are each associated with corresponding one or more content markers;
- outputting a first sequence of segments based on the encoded plurality of frames, wherein at least one first segment of the first sequence of segments has a first duration based on one of the content markers;
- and
- outputting a second sequence of segments based on the same encoded plurality of frames, wherein each segment of the second sequence has a second duration that is constant, wherein the second duration is different from the first duration, wherein the first and second sequences maintain compatibility between different streaming formats.
