    摘要: A method including: accessing a first configuration; accessing a primary video stream comprising a first set of video content, from a first online video platform; accessing a secondary video stream comprising a second set of video content; and at an initial time, combining the primary video stream and the secondary video stream according to the default viewing arrangement; at a first time, detecting the first trigger event in the primary video stream; in response to detecting the first trigger event, combining the primary video stream and the secondary video stream according to the first target viewing arrangement, and publishing the first composite video to a second video platform; and at a second time, detecting the second trigger event in the secondary video stream; in response to detecting the second trigger event, combining the primary video stream and the secondary video stream according to the second target viewing arrangement.

    摘要: A method includes, at a first time: receiving a request for video content from a first user; generating a fingerprint for the first user; associating the first user with a first user population—assigned to a first CDN and receiving the video content from the first CDN during the first time period—based on the fingerprint; and accessing a first metric for distribution of video content from the first CDN to users of the first user population. The method also includes, at a second time: selecting a second user within the first user population; identifying a second CDN distinct from the first CDN; reassigning the second user to the second CDN; and accessing a second metric for distribution of the video content from the second CDN to the second user; and, in response to the second metric exceeding the first metric, reassigning the first user to the second CDN.

    摘要: A method including: populating an encoding ladder with a subset of bitrate-resolution pairs, from a set of bitrate-resolution pairs, based on a distribution of audience bandwidths; receiving a first request for a first playback segment, at a first bitrate-resolution pair in a encoding ladder, in the video from a first device; in response to determining an absence of video segments, at the first bitrate-resolution pair and corresponding to the segment, in a first rendition cache: identifying a first set of mezzanine segments, in the video, corresponding to the first playback segment; assigning the first set of mezzanine segments to a set of workers for transcoding into a first set of video segments according to the first bitrate-resolution pair; storing the first set of video segments in the first rendition cache; and based on the first request, releasing the first set of video segments to the first device.

    摘要: A method including: extracting a set of video features representing properties of a video segment; generating a set of bitrate-resolution pairs based on the set of video features, each bitrate-resolution pair in the set of bitrate-resolution pairs defining a bitrate and defining a resolution estimated to maximize a quality score characterizing the video segment encoded at the bitrate; accessing a distribution of audience bandwidths; selecting a top bitrate-resolution pair in the set of bitrate-resolution pairs; selecting a bottom bitrate-resolution pair in the set of bitrate-resolution pairs; selecting a subset of bitrate-resolution pairs in the set of bitrate-resolution pairs based on the distribution of audience bandwidths, the subset of bitrate-resolution pairs defining bitrates less than the top bitrate and greater than the bottom bitrate; and generating an encoding ladder for the video segment comprising the top bitrate-resolution pair, the bottom bitrate-resolution pair, and the subset of bitrate-resolution pairs.
