    Abstract: In various embodiments, a manifest customization application selects one or more video streams that are derived from a first video source file and are included in a media package for a media title for inclusion in a video track. After generating a manifest file that itemizes the video track and indicates that an alternate video track can be made available, the manifest customization application transmits the manifest file to a client device. Upon receiving a request from the client device to generate an alternate manifest file that itemizes the alternate video track, the manifest customization application selects one or more video streams that are derived from a second video source file and are included in the media package for inclusion in the alternative video track. After generating the alternate manifest file based on the alternate video track, the manifest customization application transmits the alternate manifest file to the client device.

    Abstract: In various embodiments, a manifest customization application generates presentations of media titles for playback. The manifest customization application selects a first set of video streams from multiple sets of video steams that are associated with a media title and included in a media package video streams based on a first preference associated with a user. The manifest customization application selects a first set audio streams from multiple sets of audio streams included in the media package based on a second preference associated with the user. The manifest customization application generates a recommended presentation based on the first set of video streams and the first set of audio streams. The manifest customization application generates a manifest file that allows the media title to be played back in accordance with at least the recommended presentation.

    Abstract: In various embodiments a media processing pipeline generates and distributes streams for playback. The media processing pipeline encodes a first video source file that is associated with a media title to generate a first video stream set. The media processing pipeline encodes a second video source file that is associated with the media title to generate a second video stream set. The media processing pipeline generates first video metadata for the first video stream set and second video metadata for the second video stream set. The first video metadata and the second video metadata include different sets of values for a set of video characteristics. The media processing pipeline generates a media package that includes the first video stream set, the first video metadata, the second video stream set, and the second video metadata. The media processing pipeline transmits the media package to at least one server device.
