Abstract

A media content packaging and distribution system that generates a plurality of disparate live media output streams to be viewed on a plurality of consumer devices, receives a programming schedule for a channel from a network scheduler. The programming schedule corresponds to at least a first manifest associated with a first pre-encoded media asset. Information related to a plurality of first media segments and one or more events from the first pre-encoded media asset indicated in the first manifest is inserted into a live output stream manifest at defined intervals. A disparate live media output stream, to be viewed by a consumer device for a channel via a media player, is generated based on the insertion of the information related to the plurality of first media segments from the first pre-encoded media asset indicated in the first manifest into the live output stream manifest.
