Claim 9:
10. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the apparatus to:
determine that one or more primary adaptive bitrate streams for live media content are not at a starting segment boundary, wherein the one or more primary adaptive bitrate streams comprise two or more segments, each segment comprising the starting segment boundary and an ending segment boundary;
based on a determination that the one or more primary adaptive bitrate streams are not at a starting segment boundary, request one or more secondary adaptive bitrate streams associated with the live media content from one or more secondary encoders, wherein the one or more secondary adaptive bitrate streams comprise one or more subsegments, wherein each subsegment is less than a length of a corresponding segment of the two or more segments, and wherein the one or more subsegments overlap a next starting segment boundary of a next segment of the two or more segments; and
receive the one or more secondary adaptive bitrate streams comprising the one or more subsegments; and
decode the live media content associated with the one or more secondary bitrate streams.
