Abstract

A system generates a disparate live media output stream manifest based on a programming schedule, an additional parameter, and one of a first live input stream manifest or a first pre-encoded media asset manifest. Based on a first transition or a second transition, a different pre-encoded media asset manifest or a different live input stream manifest is inserted to the disparate live media output stream manifest. A first live input stream or a first pre-encoded media asset is switched to a different pre-encoded media asset, or a different live input stream based on the insertion. The first live input stream manifest or the first pre-encoded media asset manifest is modified based on the switching of the first live input stream or the first pre-encoded media asset to the different pre-encoded media asset or the different live input stream.
