Abstract
A system is provided for managing a pre-encoded media asset for immediate playback. The system generates, based on a receipt of an initial manifest request from a first client device, an initial pre-encoded media asset manifest that comprises an initial set of programming content segments. The generated initial pre-encoded media asset manifest, as a first disparate live media output stream manifest, is communicated to a media player of the first client device via a content delivery system for an immediate playback of a pre-encoded media asset. The system assigns a unique SID to the first client device to record a session of the first client device for a subsequent manifest request or a final manifest request associated with the initial manifest request. A final pre-encoded media asset manifest is generated upon a receipt of the subsequent manifest request from the first client device based on a defined criterion.
