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.

A system and a method for media streaming from multiple sources are disclosed. A content requesting client device accesses a server to receive a list of available sources that may include multiple Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and independent servers. Based on a pre-set criteria, such as the source delivery performance and cost, the client device partitions the content into parts, allocates a source to each part, and simultaneously receives media streams of the content parts from the allocated sources. The server may be a Video-on-Demand (VOD) server, and the content may be a single file of a video data, such as a movie. The delivery performance of the used sources is measured during the streaming for updating the partition or the allocation. The updated measured performance may be stored locally at the client device, or at a server for use by other clients. The client actions may be implemented as a client-side script.

A system, method and apparatus are described for improving video production technology. A video production server receives livestream videos from spectators at live events. The video production server creates video-on-demand presentations based on the livestream video clips. The video production server may also receive natively-created video clips of live events after live events have ended. The natively-created video clips each comprise location, date and time information as metadata. When natively-created video clips are received by the video production server, each clip is associated with a particular, past live event by comparing the location, date and time information of each clip to a database of live events identified by each event's location, date and time. The video production server may then update a particular video-on-demand presentation with an associated natively-created video clip, resulting in an updated video-on-demand presentation using both livestream video clips and natively-created video clips.

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).
