    Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering content are described. A content distribution network may utilize multiple content sources and datacenters when delivering content to a requesting device. One or more service metrics associated with the content as it is being prepared for delivery at each of the datacenters may be monitored by a quality agent. The quality agent may use the one or more service metrics to select a distribution datacenter to deliver the content to the requesting device. The quality agent may instruct the remaining datacenters to disable delivery of the content to the requesting device.

    Abstract: Based on content schedule data and a determined latency between initiation of transcoding and operation of transcoding, a lead time at which to initiate the transcoding process for content may be determined. Determining the latency between initiation of transcoding and operation of transcoding may comprise determining that at least one transcoder from a plurality of reserved transcoders is available to transcode the content and initiating the at least one transcoder, at the lead time, to transcode the content. Determining the latency between initiation of transcoding and operation of transcoding may comprise determining that at least one transcoder from a plurality of reserved transcoders is not available to transcode the content and initiating a transcoder associated with a cloud provider, at the lead time, to transcode the content.

    Abstract: Portions of different versions of a content asset may be stored in a manner that reduces the impact on viewing experience in the event of a failure of one of a plurality of storage subsystems of a content storage system. The portions of different versions of the content asset, which may be associated with a same portion of the playback time of the content asset, may be stored in different storage subsystems. If the storage subsystem storing a portion of one of the versions being retrieved for playback encounters a problem, a user device may access a corresponding portion of a different version stored on a different one of the storage subsystems.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for dynamically detecting repetitive content. The content that is detected as repetitive may be cached for longer periods of time. Subsequent re-transmissions of the repetitive content to user devices may be done by retrieving the content from a cache rather than requesting the content from a transcoder and/or a packager. The repetitive content segments may be retrieved from a cache, thereby saving transcoding and other system resources. A data file may be generated to map the stored segments to their cache locations and to indicate a predicted time for future transmission of the content.
