Abstract
Techniques are described for providing rendition manifests for the playback of video content or other types of content on a user device. The response to a request for content may serially include data objects for one or more rendition manifests as Data Uniform Resource Indicators (URIs) or in another data format. By incorporating the data of the rendition manifest(s) in the response, implementations may forego a network request to retrieve the rendition manifest(s) and thus reduce the latency for presenting content. In some cases, the incorporated rendition manifest(s) may list locations for a subset of chunks of a content file, and the content may be marked as live content, to reduce the size of the response and further reduce latency. In some cases, locations for chunks from multiple content files may be included in a same set of one or more rendition manifests in the response.
