Abstract
Techniques for video encoding based on viewer feedback are described herein. Feedback data collected from viewers of video content may be used to determine a provider score value and a provide duration value. The provider score value may indicate a quantity of viewers for content from the provider. The provider duration value may indicate a transmission duration for content from the respective provider. An upgrade threshold may be determined, which is a value associated with assignment of additional channels for encoding of video content. When video content from the provider is available for transmission, the provider score for the provider may be compared to the upgrade threshold value to determine whether the additional channels will be assigned for encoding of the video content. In some examples, multiple upgrade thresholds may be employed, for example corresponding to multiple time ranges identified based on the provider duration value.
