Abstract:
1. A method for creating a video-on-demand (VOD) system, the method comprising: receiving a request to record a program for including the program in the VOD system; determining when the program is to be broadcast; dynamically capturing segments of an adaptive bit rate (ABR) live stream of the program at a time of broadcasting; storing the captured segments of the ABR live stream of the program as a VOD file; creating a manifest file comprising information for playing back the VOD file; extracting metadata information associated with the desired broadcast; associating the extracted metadata information with the VOD file; updating a video-on-demand playlist with information corresponding to the VOD file; and playing back, using the manifest, the VOD file by transmitting the captured ABR segments to a client device in response to receiving a subscriber request for the program.
