Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for providing thinned manifests during a live event. As network usage of a regional internet service provider (ISP) or content delivery network (CDN) becomes unsustainable, new streaming sessions for a live event are provided a thinned manifest that does not have playback options for bitrates above a bitrate limit.

Abstract: Techniques for a quality of service optimization using a content adaptive slate image in a media player application are described. According to some embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes sending a request for a video from a client device to a content delivery service that is separate from the client device; receiving, by the client device from the content delivery service, a manifest of the video and an intro slate separate from the manifest and separate from the video; displaying the intro slate on the client device; loading an initial frame of the video identified by the manifest onto the client device concurrently with the displaying of the intro slate; and displaying the video on the client device after the displaying of the intro slate.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for making broadcast content available as an on-demand asset soon after all of the video fragments of the broadcast content have been made available. As the video fragments of the broadcast content are made available, they are requested and archived. When all of the fragments for the duration of the broadcast content are available (e.g., a live event ends), a VOD-style manifest is generated and the archived fragments are made available for downloading or streaming using the VOD-style manifest.
