Abstract
An example includes monitoring a media stream for a break of the media stream, the media stream being received by a media client; detecting the break of the media stream, where detection of the break indicates that supplemental content is to be provided during the break; sending a request for supplemental content information to a supplemental content server; receiving the supplemental content information for the break from the supplemental content server, the supplemental content information being based on the location of the media client; streaming the supplemental content to the media client within a supplemental content stream; and sending a notification to the media client, the notification including information that enables the media client to access the supplemental content stream during the break of the media stream based on the notification.
