Abstract: A system that handles delivery of service(s) through a client device, includes an interactive service provider, a video service provider, and a client device. The interactive service provider inserts at least one of digital watermarks and digital fingerprints in non-programming media content. The video service provider transmits a media stream of the media content that includes programming media content and the non-programming media content. The client device detects at least one of the inserted digital watermarks and the digital fingerprints in the playback duration of the media content and renders overlay graphics on the media content. The client device activates at least one of input devices paired with the client device and the rendered overlay graphics. The client device further receives trigger responses over activated overlay graphics and displays an interactive view to enable delivery of service(s) in response to the trigger responses.

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: A media presentation and distribution system includes a verification server that handles dynamic verification of playback of media assets on a client device. The client device receives an asset stream of media assets that comprises one or more tags embedded in the media assets. The client device detects an asset identifier associated with each of the media assets during playback of each media asset on the client device, based on identification of a tag of the one or more tags. The verification server verifies the playback of the media assets on the client device based on received support information from the client device. The playback of the media assets are verified to satisfy defined asset delivery criteria and to identify and debug a deviation or one or more errors with the playback of the media assets.
