Methods and systems of playing multi-license media content

A system of playing media contents, comprising:

• a first device having memory and a processor coupled to the memory, the memory storing a set of instructions configured to cause the processor to:
• receive a request for a media content comprising a first digital asset and a second digital asset;
• locate and retrieve a first plurality of licenses and a second plurality of licenses, the first plurality of licenses corresponding to the first digital asset and the second plurality of licenses corresponding to the second digital asset;
• decrypt the first digital asset using the first plurality of licenses and the second digital asset using the second plurality of licenses, wherein each of the first plurality of licenses decrypts a corresponding segment of the first digital asset, and wherein each of the second plurality of licenses decrypts a corresponding segment of the second digital asset;
• and
• play the first digital asset and the second digital asset in synchronization with each other on the first device;
• wherein the first plurality of licenses is different from the second plurality of licenses;
• wherein each license of the first plurality and the second plurality of licenses comprises a time code that is used to decrypt a corresponding segment of the first digital asset or the second digital asset;
• and
• the first set of instructions is configured to cause the processor to use each of the time codes of the first plurality of licenses to determine an appropriate license for decrypting a corresponding segment of the first digital asset and use each of the time codes of the second plurality licenses to determine an appropriate license for decrypting a corresponding segment of the second digital asset.

A computer-implemented method of playing media contents, comprising:

• receiving a request for a media content comprising a first digital asset segment and a second digital asset segment on a device;
• locating and retrieving a first plurality of license segments and a second plurality of license segments, the first plurality of license segments corresponding to a third digital asset segment and the second plurality of license segments corresponding to the second digital asset segment;
• determining a third plurality of license segments required for playing the first digital asset segment when incomplete;
• decrypting the third digital asset segment using the first plurality of license segments and the second digital asset segment using the second plurality of license segments;
• and
• playing the third digital asset segment and the second digital asset segment in synchronization with each other on the device;
• wherein the first plurality of license segments is different from the second plurality of license segments, and the third digital asset segment is related to the first digital asset segment such that the third digital asset segment and the first digital asset segment correspond to the same component of the requested media content;
• wherein each license of the first plurality of license segments and the second plurality of licenses segments comprises a time code that is used to decrypt a corresponding segment of the first digital asset segment or the second digital asset segment;
• and
• each of the time codes of the first plurality of license segment determines an appropriate license for decrypting a corresponding segment of the first digital asset segment and each of the time codes of the second plurality license segment determines an appropriate license for decrypting a corresponding segment of the second digital asset segment.
