Abstract
A media storage service may store a plurality of copies of a same media recording in cloud DVR, one copy specific to one of a plurality of clients. The client may interact directly with the media storage service based on path-based indexing techniques for playback of the media recording. The client may send a request, including a path of a manifest file associated with the copy specific to the client, to the media storage service. The manifest file may include information indicating respective paths of one or more segments of the copy. The media storage service may identify and return the manifest file to the client. The media storage service may further receive requests from the client to access the segments of the copy. The requests may include the respective paths, based on which the media storage service may retrieve the segments for the client to play.
