Abstract: The exemplary embodiments relate to devices, systems and methods for a streaming service to provide fast video stream startup at a user device. The streaming service may determine that a video stream for on-demand content is to be provided to the user device and is to include multiple subclips corresponding to the on-demand content and a dynamic content insertion opportunity (DCIO). A first event playlist is transmitted to the user device that corresponds to a first portion of the selected content. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, a video playlist is transmitted to the user device, wherein the video playlist corresponds at least to a third portion of the selected content comprising the multiple subclips.
