Abstract

A content controller system to render frames on demand comprises a rendering server system that includes a plurality of graphics processing units (GPUs). The GPUs in the rendering server system render a set of media content item segments using a media content identification and a main user identification. Rendering the set of media content item segments includes retrieving metadata from a metadata database associated with the media content identification, rendering the set of media content item segments using the metadata, generating a main user avatar based on the main user identification, and incorporating the main user avatar into the set of media content item segments. The rendering server system then uploads the set of media content item segments to a segment database; and updates segment states in a segment state database to indicate that the set of media content item segments are available. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.
