Abstract
Techniques for dynamically determining a configuration file are described. In an example, a system receives, from a device, a request for first content to be presented by the device. The system determines metadata of the first content and a cue point indicating a start of a segment in which second content can be presented by the device. Based on the metadata and subsequent to the request, the system determines a configuration of the segment. The configuration includes: a duration of the segment, a sequence of slots in the segment, and/or a content duration usable in a slot of the segment. The system generates a configuration file that includes the metadata and the configuration, determines the second content based at least in part on the configuration file, and sends data about the first content and the second content to the device.
