Claim 14:
15. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 further comprising:
at a media encoder logically independent of the publishing client and the publishing server, the media encoder operated by the publisher user simultaneous to operation of the publishing client:
capturing input from source devices;
encoding the captured input to a media format; and
transmitting the encoded input to a streaming media server coupled to the media encoder, the encoded input transmitted as an input media stream using a real-time streaming protocol;

at the streaming media server:
receiving the input media stream from the media encoder;
transcoding the media stream to a live streaming format compatible with content delivery, the transcoded media stream being the output media stream, the transcoded media stream being stored in media segments of a target length on the streaming media server at the location specified in the command manifest file;
generating and maintaining a media stream playlist referencing the stored media segments; and
at least one of: hosting the output media stream or transmitting the output media stream to a Content Distribution Network (CDN) for delivery to the multimedia player.
