Abstract: In one embodiment, a method, system and apparatus are described, the method including receiving an initial request from a client device, being a request to establish a connection, including an initial connection IP address of the client device, recording the initial connection IP address, receiving an additional request at the network interface, the additional request comprising a URL, an actual client IP address of the client device, and a request for streaming content, comparing the initial connection IP address with the actual client IP address, performing one of providing the streaming content in response to the additional request if the initial connection IP address and the actual client IP address are the same, or providing a response to the additional request comprising a redirect instruction if the initial connection IP address and the actual client IP address are different. Related methods, apparatus, and systems are also described.

Abstract: In one embodiment a method, system, and apparatus is described for providing multimedia content from a server to a plurality of media devices, the method including providing a computing device an HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) playlist for playing in an adaptive bitrate client, the playlist including a list of at least two segments, each of the segments having an associated duration field, for each segment in the playlist, assigning a timestamp which is equal to the sum the durations of each previous segment in the playlist, calculating a calculated duration of the playlist by subtracting a time stamp of the first segment in the playlist from the time stamp of the last segment in the playlist, determining a real duration of the playlist by subtracting a first presentation time stamp (PTS) of the first segment in the playlist from the last presentation time stamp (PTS) of the last segment in the playlist, computing a playlist drift by subtracting the calculated duration of the playlist from the real duration of the playlist, determining a correction factor by dividing the playlist drift by the number of segments in the playlist, and calculating a new timestamp for each segment in the playlist by adding the correction factor to the time stamp of the segment. Related methods, systems, and apparatus are also described.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, an HLS transcoder inserts a plurality of encoder boundary points (EBPs) into an HLS formatted content item, a processor places hints about locations of the inserted EBPs, and an inputter inputs the HLS formatted content item into an on-demand encapsulation process. Related systems, apparatus and methods are also described.

Abstract: One embodiment of a method and system for providing multimedia content from a server to at least one client device is described. The method and system include storing a content asset in a storage unit, storing a master manifest in memory, the master manifest including information required to locate at least one format specific manifest for the content asset, the at least one format specific manifest including information for locating the content asset in a specific content format and processing the master manifest by a processor which reads the master manifest from memory, locates the at least one format specific manifest using the master manifest, and adapts the content to a desired target format on the basis of the located format specific manifest, the desired target format being appropriate for consumption by the at least one client device. Related hardware, methods and systems are also described.
