    摘要: The implementation provides for controlled dynamic content replacement within media content. The media content is encoded in its original form with markers marking segments for time or condition triggered replacement. Each marker is provided a type. A request link is generated for requesting the media content. The link encodes control data for the different marker types. In response to a media content request, the server scans encoded chunks of the media content for markers. From the request link, the server obtains the control data for an identified marker type and determines whether to replace the content based on triggering of the control data. This allows advertising content to remain as part of the media content until reaching a certain number of impressions or a certain time. Thereafter, the content is dynamically replaced with temporally relevant content or other content from an ongoing campaign during real-time media content playback.

    摘要: A scalable architecture is provided for decentralized scaling of resources in a media content encoding platform. The scalable architecture is comprised of a first slicing tier, a second broker tier, and a third encoding tier. Each tier can be horizontally and vertically scaled independent of one another. The second broker tier receives media content slices from the first slicing tier. The second broker tier retains the slices directly in main memory of different brokers without writing the slices to a database or disk. The brokers distribute the slices from main memory across the third encoding tier for encoding based on availability of different encoders in the third tier. This architecture improves overall encoding performance as some of the delays associated with managing and distributing the slices at the second tier are eliminated by operation of the brokers.
