Techniques for dynamic content streaming. Based on analyzing respective client data of each of multiple client devices, a respective profile corresponding to a current session on the respective client device is determined. Based on the respective profile for each client device, a respective custom video modification to apply to a first video stream is determined. The respective custom video modification is applied to the first video stream to create a modified video stream having a relatively greater measure of conformity to the respective profile than prior to modification. Each modified video stream is transmitted to the respective client device for output.

Multi-deterministic dynamic content streaming

According to one implementation, an electronic program guide (EPG) provisioning system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive traffic data for programming content included in a programming content stream, extract programming content metadata describing the programming content from the traffic data, and obtain supplemental metadata further describing the programming content. In addition, the hardware processor executes the software code to enrich the programming content metadata using the supplemental metadata to produce an enhanced programming content metadata, conform the enhanced programming content metadata to each of multiple formats corresponding respectively to EPG providers for the programming content stream, and distribute the enhanced programming content metadata to the EPG providers in real-time with respect to receiving the traffic data.

Electronic program guide provisioning in real-time

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for content aggregation and distribution for real-time and non-real-time production of video content items may be realized by receiving, at a first device from a second device, an annotated video stream that includes principal material in a principal spectrum (which is in-band for output on a display device) and supplemental material in a supplemental spectrum (which is out-of-band for the display device) and in response to receiving, from the downstream device, an indication that the principal material is of secondary interest and that the supplemental material is of primary interest: repackaging the annotated video stream to include the supplemental material in the principal spectrum via insertion, substitution, or splicing. The content may be repackaged in real-time with linear delivery, and in non-real-time with on-demand delivery, and various entities may add content for later inclusion, and adjust which content is transmitted to downstream entities.

Content aggregation and distribution for real-time and non-real-time production

Embodiments provide techniques for providing custom digital broadcast video streams. Embodiments include receiving, at a content streaming server, a first video stream to transmit to a client device. A user profile corresponding to a current session on the client device is determined. One or more custom video modifications to apply to the first video stream are also determined, based on the determined user profile. Embodiments apply the determined one or more custom video modifications to the first video stream to create a modified video stream. The modified video stream is then transmitted to the client device.

Multi-deterministic dynamic linear content streaming

There is provided an electronic program guide (EPG) provisioning system that receives traffic data for programming content included in a programming content stream, extracts programming content metadata describing the programming content from the traffic data, and obtains supplemental metadata further describing the programming content. The EPG system further enriches the programming content metadata using the supplemental metadata to produce an enhanced programming content metadata, conforms the enhanced programming content metadata to each of multiple formats corresponding respectively to EPG providers for the programming content stream, and then distributes the enhanced programming content metadata to the EPG providers in real-time with respect to receiving the traffic data.

A collaborative cloud-based content curation system includes a content curation platform having a hardware processor, a memory, a master control automation unit stored in the memory, and a web-based affiliate operations portal. The hardware processor executes the master control automation unit to receive a content feed and trigger insertion instructions from an affiliate content provider, and to receive traffic log data for the affiliate content provider via the web-based affiliate operations portal. The master control automation unit curates a digital rights cleared content stream from the content feed, produces a corresponding electronic programming guide (EPG), and generates an IP transport stream for distributing the digital rights cleared content stream and the EPG. The master control automation unit also receives, after distribution of the digital rights cleared content and the EPG, a traffic log update data, and updates the EPG in real-time.
