Abstract
A device for seamlessly distributing a media stream from different ingest devices of a delivery platform. The device fails over from a first ingest device to a second ingest device in response to one or more errors from attempts to retrieve parts of the media stream from the first ingest device prior to any signaling or messaging (e.g., an unpublish event) from the first ingest device indicating that the media stream has ended, is no longer available, or is otherwise removed from the first ingest device. The device also produces manifests identifying two or more bitrates for a media stream when each of the two or more bitrates is uploaded to and ingested by a different ingest device of the delivery platform.
