Abstract

A system and method includes a local area network, a client device, a replacement metadata determination module and a server device in communication with the client device through the local area network. The server device communicates main content to a client device. The main content comprises a plurality of main content packets. The server device determines main content metadata from the main content prior to communicating main content to the client device and determines insert content metadata from insert content. The insert content comprises a plurality of insert packets comprising the insert content metadata. The replacement metadata determination module determines a replacement metadata for the insert content based on the main content metadata. The server device replaces the insert metadata with the replacement metadata to form modified insert packets and communicates modified insert packets to the client device thereafter.
