Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a method, apparatus, and computer program product for simplifying the process of creating a video-on-demand system. For example, in one embodiment, a method for creating a video-on-demand (VOD) system is disclosed that includes dynamically capturing segments of an adaptive bit rate (ABR) live stream of the program at time of broadcasting and storing the captured segments of the ABR live stream of the program as a VOD file. The method also includes creating a manifest file comprising information for playing back the VOD file. The method further includes playing back, using the manifest, the VOD file by transmitting the captured ABR segments to a client device in response to receiving a subscriber request for the program.

In some cases, a particular bit rate of the program can be selected for playback on a client device, based on the type of the client device.

Abstract: The application describes a network-access device with multiple different modems or other such network interfaces that enables a computing device to intelligently connect to multiple different networks. Thus, if one particular network connection goes down, is running slow or is otherwise not accessible to the computing device, the network-access device may connect to another network to which it has access.
