Abstract

In some embodiments, a method receives a request from a client including first status information. The status information was included in a first instance of a media presentation description for a first set of segments of a stream of a media presentation and identified a break from the stream of the media presentation for insertion of supplemental content. The method uses the first status information to identify supplemental content for the client. A second instance of the media presentation description is sent for at least a portion of the supplemental content. The second instance of the media presentation description includes second status information that reverts the client back to the stream of the media presentation after insertion of the supplemental content.
