A method of providing a content stream based on capturing an initial delivery of the content stream. The method comprises obtaining manifest data related to the initial delivery of the content stream, the manifest data being obtained one or more times in a sequence during the initial delivery of the content stream to generate one or more manifest files; associating a time-stamp with each of the manifest files, the time stamp being indicative of a time of obtaining the associated manifest file; processing each of the manifest files to identify one or more addresses referenced in the manifest file of one or more segments comprising a portion of the content stream in the initial delivery; accessing one or more of the segments identified via the one or more addresses referenced in the manifest files; modifying a last one of the manifest files to include at least a portion of an earlier manifest file of the manifest files; and providing a client with access to the manifest files including the modified last manifest file and the accessed one or more segments.
