Methods, systems, and apparatuses for scalable content data updating

A system comprising:

• a plurality of computing devices, wherein a first computing device of the plurality of computing devices is configured to:
• receive a manifest file associated with a content item;
• determine, based on the manifest file, a playback timeline, wherein each computing device of the plurality of computing devices receives the manifest file and maintains an update file associated with the content item based on the playback timeline corresponding to that computing device;
• modify, based on the update file and the playback timeline, a parameter value in the manifest file indicating a quantity of content segments;
• and
• send, based on the quantity of content segments indicated by the modified parameter value, a request for one or more content segments associated with the content item;
• and
• at least one second computing device configured to send the one or more content segments.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, of a plurality of computing devices, cause the computing device to:

• receive a manifest file associated with a content item;
• determine, based on the manifest file, a playback timeline, wherein each computing device of the plurality of computing devices receives the manifest file and maintains an update file associated with the content item based on the playback timeline corresponding to that computing device;
• modify, based on the update file and the playback timeline, a parameter value in the manifest file indicating a quantity of content segments;
• and
• send, based on the quantity of content segments indicated by the modified parameter value, a request for one or more content segments associated with the content item.
