Manifest re-assembler for a streaming video channel

A computer-readable medium for storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a playlist identifying a plurality of content assets to be played on a streaming video channel,
• each of the plurality of content assets including a plurality of segments;
• determine that a content asset is ready to be played on the streaming video channel,
• the content asset being included in the plurality of content assets,
• the content asset being associated with a live program;
• retrieve available segment addresses associated with the content asset based on the content asset being associated with the live program,
• a plurality of segment addresses, associated with the content asset, including the available segment addresses;
• add the plurality of segment addresses, including the available segment addresses, to a queue,
• the plurality of segment addresses identifying memory locations at which the plurality of segments, included in the content asset, are stored;
• generate a batch of segment addresses from the plurality of segment addresses in the queue;
• send a channel manifest for the streaming video channel to a server;
• the channel manifest including the batch of segment addresses,
• the plurality of content assets being accessible via the streaming video channel through a single network address;
• and
• continually update the channel manifest based on the plurality of segment addresses in the queue.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a device, a playlist identifying a plurality of content assets to be played on a streaming video channel,
• each of the plurality of content assets including a plurality of segments;
• determining, by the device, a content asset is ready to be played on the streaming video channel based on a start time associated with the content asset,
• the content asset being included in the plurality of content assets,
• the content asset being associated with a live program;
• retrieving, by the device, available segment addresses associated with the content asset based on the content asset being associated with the live program,
• a plurality of segment addresses, associated with the content asset, including the available segment addresses;
• adding, by the device, the plurality of segment addresses, including the available segment addresses to a queue,
• the plurality of segment addresses identifying memory locations at which a plurality of segment files included in the content asset are stored;
• generating, by the device, a batch of segment addresses from the plurality of segment addresses in the queue;
• and
• publishing, by the device, a channel manifest file for the streaming video channel, including the batch of segment addresses, by sending the channel manifest file to a server,
• the plurality of content assets being accessible via the streaming video channel through a network address.

A device, comprising:

• one or more processors to:
• receive a playlist identifying a plurality of content assets to be played on a streaming video channel,
• each of the plurality of content assets including a plurality of segments;
• determine a content asset is ready for processing,
• the content asset being included in the plurality of content assets;
• add a plurality of segment addresses associated with the content asset into a queue,
• the plurality of segment addresses identifying memory locations at which the plurality of segments, included in the content asset, are stored;
• generate a batch of segment addresses from the plurality of segment addresses in the queue;
• publish a channel manifest for the streaming video channel including the batch of segment addresses,
• the plurality of content assets being accessible via the streaming video channel through a single network address;
• periodically update the channel manifest based on the plurality of segment addresses in the queue;
• determine the content asset is associated with a prerecorded program;
• retrieve all segment addresses associated with the content asset at a same time based on the content asset being associated with the prerecorded program,
• the plurality of segment addresses including all the segment addresses associated with the content asset;
• and
• add all the segment addresses associated with the content asset to the queue.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a device, a playlist identifying a plurality of content assets to be played on a streaming video channel,
• each of the plurality of content assets including a plurality of segments;
• determining, by the device, a content asset is ready to be played on the streaming video channel based on a start time associated with the content asset,
• the content asset being included in the plurality of content assets;
• adding, by the device, a plurality of segment addresses, associated with the content asset, into a queue,
• the plurality of segment addresses identifying memory locations at which a plurality of segment files included in the content asset are stored,
• the plurality of segment addresses including a first subset of segment addresses identifying first memory locations at which a subset of segment files encoded at a first resolution are stored, and a second subset of segment addresses identifying second memory locations at which the subset of segment files encoded at a second resolution are stored;
• generating, by the device, a batch of segment addresses from the plurality of segment addresses in the queue;
• and
• publishing, by the device, a channel manifest file for the streaming video channel, including the batch of segment addresses, by sending the channel manifest file to a server,
• the channel manifest file including the first subset of segment addresses and the second subset of segment addresses,
• the plurality of content assets being accessible via the streaming video channel through a network address.
