Abstract
A method includes, at a first time: receiving, from a first viewer population, a first request for a first playback segment of a video; generating a first rendition segment corresponding to the first playback segment; transmitting the first rendition segment to the first viewer population; aggregating a first set of viewership data for the first playback segment; and generating a first viewership count based the first set of viewership data, the first viewership count corresponding to a viewership data filter. In addition, the method includes, at the second time: receiving a second request from the second viewer population for a second playback segment of the video; generating the second rendition segment corresponding to the first playback segment; modifying frames of the second rendition segment to include the first viewership count; and transmitting the second modified rendition segment to the second viewer population and the first viewership count.
