Abstract:
1. A method for altering transcoding priority, comprising: sending, to a media server, a plurality of messages for altering a corresponding transcoding priority of a corresponding selected content program object that represents media content, and wherein at least some of the messages indicate a change to the corresponding transcoding priority by altering a position of a reference to the selected content program object in a transcoding queue of the media server; receiving, from the media server for each of a first subset of the messages, a corresponding first return code that indicates that the transcoding priority of the corresponding selected content program object was successfully altered in response to the corresponding message from the first subset of the messages; receiving, from the media server for each of a second subset of the messages, a corresponding second return code that indicates that the corresponding selected content program object was not found; and receiving, from the media server for each of a third subset of the messages, a corresponding third return code that indicates that the transcoding priority of the corresponding selected content program object was not altered, wherein the first subset, the second subset, and the third subset are each mutually exclusive subsets of the messages.
