Abstract: Systems and methods are described to enable synchronized encoding of streaming audio or video content between multiple encoders, in a manner that provides for redundancy of the system to vary based on a demand for the output content. End user devices or content distribution systems can monitor how content is output on end user devices, and report such output to a content encoding system. The encoding system can then redundancy provided for streaming content based on the demand by end users. Streams that are in high demand can be processed with high redundancy among devices that provide seamlessly interchangeable content, thus reducing the likelihood of perceived failure for such streams. Streams that are in low demand can be processed with low redundancy, reducing the computing resources used to process the stream while minimizing the overall impact of a processing failure, should one occur.

Abstract: A user of a storage system can upload files for a media asset, which can include a high quality media file and various related files. As part of the upload process, the storage system can extract metadata that describes the media asset. The user can specify one or more lifecycle policies to be applied for storage of the asset, and a rules engine can ensure the application of the one or more policies. The rules engine can also enable the use of simple media processing workflows. A filename hashing approach can be used to ensure that the segments and files for the asset are stored in a relatively random and even distribution across the partitions of the storage system. As part of the lifecycle for the asset, the high quality media file can be moved to less expensive storage once transcoding of the asset or another such action occurs.

Abstract: An asset storage server is provided herein that assigns related files to an asset name and assigns permissions to the asset name such that related files with unrelated names can be assigned permissions independent of the file naming convention and without requiring a user to individually set the permissions of each file. The asset storage server may also generate modified versions of original file names and index a distributed object store based on the modified versions such that related files with related names are not listed in the same partition of the distributed object store. Indexing the distributed object store based on the modified versions of the original file names may reduce data retrieval latency.

Abstract: A time code to byte conversion system is provided herein that maps time codes to byte ranges such that a user device can retrieve a portion of, but not all of, a media file by specifying a time range. For example, the time code to byte conversion system can play a media file and identify the byte at which each time code begins. The time code to byte conversion system can then store the byte to time code mapping in an index accessible by a media retrieval server. A user device can then provide a time range to the media retrieval server, the media retrieval server can query the index to identify the range of bytes that corresponds to the provided time range, and then the media retrieval server can retrieve the identified range of bytes from a media database for transmission to the user device.
