Abstract: A streaming service updates a manifest to include a location of an encoded version of a program that is available for streaming and a restriction marker indicating that the program is restricted. A request for the manifest is received from a client device. Subsequent to providing the manifest to the client device, a request for authorization to stream the program is received from the client device, the request for authorization including client device metadata. Based on the client device metadata and blackout metadata associated with the program, it is determined that the client device is not authorized to stream the program. The streaming service sends, to the client device, slate information that identifies a slate image to be presented by the client device in lieu of the program.

Abstract: Obtain, at a first network location, a first file specifying a first plurality of file segments, having a first plurality of original file segment names, to be obtained from a second network location. At the first network location, map each of the first plurality of original file segment names to a first plurality of modified file segment names;. Send, from the first network location to the second network location, requests for each of the first plurality of modified file segment names. Obtain, at the first network location from the second network location, the first plurality of file segments, corresponding to the first plurality of original file segment names, based on the requests for each of the first plurality of modified file segment names and the mapping.

Abstract: Methods and systems for using packager systems for streaming. The packager system including packagers configured to process packets, each packager having a packet listener, a sequence list generator, and a segment generator; and at least one cluster controller including a manifest generator. The at least one cluster controller configured to configure a packager from the packagers as an active packager by enabling a packet listener, a sequence list generator, and a segment generator, configure a remaining packager from the packagers as a backup packager by disabling a segment generator, receive segments, sequence list, and metadata based on processed packets from the active packager, generate, via the manifest generator, a manifest based on the segments, the sequence list, and the metadata, and send the segments and the manifest to a streaming system component.
