Video Submission Package Validation for On-Time Media Release
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The conventional methods for publishing video content on streaming platforms suffer from low hit rates due to errors and delays, often requiring manual intervention and multiple human touchpoints, which hinder the content from meeting its target release date.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing a publication manager that automates error checking and communication protocols between studio and post-production house entities, reducing manual touchpoints and increasing the hit rate by streamlining the processing of media content submissions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual error checking is performed by human operators, then error detection capability is improved, but processing time and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service error detection through automated validation mechanisms that check media packages against predefined criteria without human intervention. The automated system validates error codes, checks media asset availability, and verifies submission completeness, thereby maintaining high reliability while reducing processing time and operational complexity.
2Reliability
If multiple human touchpoints are involved in the publishing workflow, then error checking thoroughness is improved, but the number of operational steps and potential for delay increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates manual operational steps from the publishing workflow by implementing automated validation systems. The automated system handles error code validation, media asset verification, and submission checks, removing the need for multiple human touchpoints while maintaining thorough error checking capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual mechanical operations with automated digital validation mechanisms. Instead of human operators manually checking errors, the system uses automated software validation that checks media packages against predefined criteria, reducing operational complexity while maintaining thoroughness.
3Productivity
If automated error checking is implemented, then processing speed is improved, but system complexity and validation requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The automated validation system is segmented into distinct validation modules that handle different aspects of error checking independently. Each module validates specific criteria (error codes, media assets, submission completeness) separately, making the complex validation process manageable and maintainable while achieving high processing speed through parallel execution.

AI summary
According to an aspect, a method includes receiving an availability resource from a first computing device associated with a studio entity, where the availability resource includes information about a media content item to be available on a media platform. The method includes storing the information of the availability resource in a database and receiving a package submission from a second computing device associated with a post-production house (PPH) entity, where the package submission includes media manifest core (MMC) data and one or more media assets associated with the media content item. The method includes executing a plurality of processing operations, including an error operation, on the package submission, using the availability resource and/or the MMC data, and, in response to determining that the error operation has resulted in an error, transmitting an error notification to the first computing device and/or the second computing device.
