Abstract
A first splicer manages a get-list request coming from a player and parameterized with an identifier of a first content and a group identifier. The first splicer obtains an initial playlist having a first URI template, pointing towards a first server and pre-parameterized with the identifier of the first content, and a first list of segment identifiers. The first splicer builds and transmits a final playlist to the player including a second URI template, pointing to a second splicer and pre-parameterized with the identifier of the first content and the group identifier, and a second list of virtual segment identifiers. Each virtual segment is associated with a segment of the first content or of an alternative content.
