Abstract
Methods and apparatus for just-in-time streaming media. Existing content delivery networks are optimized for providing mass media to many consumers. This delivery model is poorly suited to user-specific content. Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure create a program instance that can service a client's media requests from their archival data. In one specific implementation, the archival data is stored segments that are ready for streaming; a content server may provide either a consolidated file or a media 'quasi-stream' from the same storage object(s). The quasi-stream supports progressive playback (media playback as it is being downloaded.) The program instance provides the client device the illusion of a static file system, however client requested access to HTTP file downloads are provided in packets that are transmuxed/transcoded from archival data. The various solutions described herein directly address a problem that is unique to providing access to client-specific data archives anytime, anywhere.
