Systems and methods enable video on demand playback startup times to be reduced. A redirect database is populated with redirect locators. A request from a device for an item of primary video content is received. A static manifest file is generated including locators corresponding to the requested item of primary video content and redirect database entries storing redirect locators to default interstitial media. The static manifest file is transmitted to the device. Potential items of interstitial media are identified by sources of interstitial media, and a first item of interstitial media is selected. A redirect locator in the redirect database is replaced with a redirect locator corresponding to the selected interstitial media. A request is received from the device directed to the redirect database location storing the redirect locator corresponding to the selected interstitial media. The selected interstitial media is streamed to the device.

Systems and methods for low latency and lossless content streaming are provided. Particularly, an improved system architecture is provided that reduces the latency that may occur between a live stream going online and content first being presented to viewer devices. The improved system architecture also mitigates or eliminates content loss that may occur when a transcode server performing transcoding for the live stream crashes. To accomplish these benefits, the improved system architecture includes a buffer within the ingest server that receives content from the broadcaster device. The use of the buffer allows the content to be more quickly accessed by the transcode server, therefore reducing latency. The use of the buffer also eliminates content loss that may otherwise occur in the live stream or a recording of the live stream (for a video on demand).
