    Abstract: A system is provided for dynamic scheduling and channel creation based on external data. Audience-based parameters comprising demographics data, targeted audience data, device type data, and trending information that includes media items based on current trend in social network platform are received from external data source. A media item to be inserted in first media feed of first channel is determined based on a plurality of pre-encoded media content, metadata, audience-based parameters and defined parameters. The plurality of pre-encoded media content is segmented into a plurality of media segments, each corresponding to different quality level and content encryption mode. A second channel is generated from first channel based on audience-based parameters, insertion of media item, and second programming schedule. The second programming schedule is generated from modification of first programming schedule based on audience-based parameters. The media item is delivered, in viewable format, in second media feed to consumer device.

    Abstract: A system generates disparate live output stream manifests. For a disparate live media output stream manifest generated based on a first live input stream, programming schedules and/or events in a first live input stream manifest are identified. Based on a transition due to the identification, a second live input stream manifest and/or a pre-encoded media asset manifest is inserted in the disparate live output stream manifest. For the disparate live media output stream manifest s generated based on a first pre-encoded media asset, the programming schedules and/or the events in a first pre-encoded media asset manifest, and/or events in the second live input stream manifest defined in the programming schedules are identified. Based on another transition due to the identified events, a second pre-encoded media asset manifest and/or a live input stream manifest is inserted in the disparate live output stream manifest. The disparate live output stream manifest is published.

    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for publishing a disparate live media output stream that complies with distribution format regulations. One or more processors in the system generate a preview based on a low-latency protocol for a plurality of live input streams, and generate an updated schedule based on one or more events identified in the preview in real-time. The updated schedule includes one or more transitions between the plurality of live input streams and pre-encoded media assets. A disparate live media output stream manifest is generated based on manipulation of manifests of the plurality of live input streams and pre-encoded media assets in accordance with the updated schedule. The generated disparate live media output stream manifest is delayed to allow decisions based on the preview, and includes programming content and non-programming content available to the one or more processors for immediate consumption, and complies with distribution format regulations.

    Abstract: A media management system that handles a plurality of agreement information and a plurality of promotional campaigns for a specified upcoming time-frame, receives input parameters for each of the plurality of agreement information that corresponds to an upfront inventory utilization type and commercial operator break (COB) inventory utilization type of a plurality of inventory utilization types. Reserve inventory units for each of the plurality of promotional campaigns are determined based on historical data of an amount of inventory units utilized previously under the promotion inventory utilization type for the specified upcoming time-frame. An initial allocation of inventory units for the promotion inventory utilization type is done based on the determined reserve inventory units. Inventory units from a defined amount of inventory units are dynamically allocated among each inventory utilization types of the plurality of inventory utilization types.

    Abstract: A media management system that generates expected audience of a promo schedule for each promotional campaign planned for an upcoming time-frame, acquires historical data for the promotional campaigns for the time-frame, and generates a plurality of values associated with a promotion impact measure for each of the promotional campaigns based on the acquired historical data and the expected audience. Inventory unit needs are determined for each of the promotional campaigns that corresponds to a promotion inventory utilization of a plurality of inventory utilization types, based on at least the generated plurality of values. The determined inventory units for each of the promotional campaigns are utilized to dynamically allocate inventory from a defined amount of inventory units among each inventory utilization types to meet a plurality of defined parameters for the defined amount of inventory units for one or more specified durations until an end of the upcoming time-frame.
