Claim 1:
2. The computer system of claim 1, further comprising:
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, the media encoder configured to:
capture input from source devices;
encode the captured input to a media format; and
transmit the encoded input to a streaming media server as an input media stream using a real-time streaming protocol;

the streaming media server coupled to the media encoder, the streaming media server configured to:
receive the input media stream from the media encoder;
transcode 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;
generate and maintain a media stream playlist referencing the stored media segments; and
at least one of: host the output media stream or transmit the output media stream to a Content Distribution Network (CDN) for delivery to the multimedia player.
