Abstract: A multimedia stream may include an indication to insert multimedia content to the multimedia stream. An insertion segment may be selected from among multiple segments such that the insertion segment is selected based in part on metadata such as metadata associated with the recipient of the multimedia stream. Metadata associated with the insertion segment may be obtained. Satisfaction of a compliance requirement may be determined based on various information, such as metadata associated with the recipient and metadata associated with the insertion segment. The insertion segment may be made available as part of the multimedia stream.

Abstract: Dynamic transcoding can be used to provide supplemental content, selected to be played during breaks in a stream of primary content, that has the same format as the primary content. It can be desirable to provide supplemental content that is personalized. This may include additional content or advertising that may be of interest or relevance to a viewer. In many instances, the supplemental content will come from a different source and thus can be in a different format. Approaches in accordance with various embodiments can take advantage of dynamic transcoding of the supplemental content to provide properly formatted supplemental content through the same stream as the primary content. A custom manifest can be provided to the media player that points to the transcoded supplemental content. At an appropriate break in the playback, the media player can use the manifest to obtain the formatted supplemental content.

Abstract: A video packaging and origination service can process requests for content segments from requesting user devices. The video packaging and origination service can processing video attributes, audio attributes and social media feeds to dynamically determine insertion points for supplemental content. Additionally, the video packaging and origination service can identify supplemental content utilizing the same attribute information.

Abstract: A multimedia stream may be abandoned (e.g., terminated) under various contexts. Metadata surrounding the abandonment, such as information regarding multimedia segments shown at or near the time of abandonment, may be stored. A system may detect satisfaction of a condition based at least in part on abandonment metadata associated with an abandoned stream, obtain a set of abandonment metadata sharing a characteristic in common, and determine a cause. Depending on the determined cause, various mitigations may be executed—for example, if abandonment of streams is detected in a specific location at a particular point or period in time, one or more network diagnostics tests may be executed to determine whether there are network connectivity issues for viewers from the specific location.

Abstract: A media storage service may store a plurality of copies of a same media recording in cloud DVR, one copy specific to one of a plurality of clients. The client may interact directly with the media storage service based on path-based indexing techniques for playback of the media recording. The client may send a request, including a path of a manifest file associated with the copy specific to the client, to the media storage service. The manifest file may include information indicating respective paths of one or more segments of the copy. The media storage service may identify and return the manifest file to the client. The media storage service may further receive requests from the client to access the segments of the copy. The requests may include the respective paths, based on which the media storage service may retrieve the segments for the client to play.

Abstract: A content delivery service includes a management service for determining an anticipated window of time in which supplemental content can be inserted in the dynamic content stream. The management service will then pre-fetch supplemental content from the third party supplemental content service prior the identification or request for supplemental content to be included in the streaming content. During the streaming of content to individual users via an established channel, as markers for insertion opportunities are identified, the content delivery service will attempt to utilize the pool of pre-fetched supplemental content.
