A method for virtual live streaming, a device, and a storage medium thereof are provided. The method includes: polling a broadcasting task list, and triggering a start event for a virtual live streaming task in the broadcasting task list in a case that the virtual live streaming task meets a preset start condition, where the broadcasting task list is to maintain a state of a live streaming task on a network live streaming platform; creating a live streaming room in response to the start event, and associating the live streaming room with a virtual anchor account to which the virtual live streaming task belongs; generating a stream-pushing address, calling a streaming media resource pre-configured for the virtual live streaming task and pushing the streaming media resource to the stream-pushing address; and adding an access portal of the live streaming room into a live streaming room list.

Systems and methods for generating notification interfaces synchronized with broadcast events and local interactions are disclosed. The system can receive a plurality of interactions corresponding to a conditional event opportunity of a live event from a respective plurality of client devices, and identify a broadcast receiver device that is presenting a broadcast of the live event. The system can generate instructions for a broadcast receiver device that causes an application executing on the broadcast receiver device to display one or more content items corresponding to the conditional event opportunity. The system can transmit the instructions to the broadcast receiver device to cause the application to display the one or more content items with the broadcast of the live event.

Specific transmission mechanisms and processes are provided to support real-time addressable asset delivery in satellite broadcast networks including satellite television networks. A satellite network (100) includes a satellite (102) that transmits a satellite transmission (106) to a terrestrial receiver (104), such as a satellite dish. The satellite dish (104) is associated with a UED (108) such as a television with a set top box. The satellite transmission (106) includes a number of MUXs (107). One or more of the MUXs (107) includes a programming channel and associated asset channels. Addressable asset options can be delivered at UEDs by hopping from a programming channel to an asset channel at an asset delivery opportunity.

A system and a method is provided for publishing a disparate live media output stream that complies with distribution format regulations. The system includes a memory for storing instructions and a processor that executes the instructions. Based on the instructions, the processor is manipulates a manifest of a live input stream based on a media segment identified for an edit. The manipulation of the manifest corresponds to removal of references to the media segment prior to a live event start indicator and after a live event end indicator, maintenance of indicators that mark locations of a non-programming content, and removal of duration information and referenced media segment that corresponds to originally scheduled non-programming content. A pre-encoded media asset is generated for a repeated playback based on the manipulation of the manifest of the live input stream.

Provided is a system that identifies a tag in a media content of a media stream based on a user-attribute of a client device. A candidate time-period is identified in a playback duration of the media content based on the identified tag in the media content. Based on a degree of correlation between the identified tag in the media content and a corresponding context for the media content at the candidate time-period, an overlay-graphic item corresponding to the identified tag is presented at the candidate time-period in the media content.

A media presentation and distribution system (MPDS) communicatively coupled to a client device, which handles media content distribution via a content delivery network, to a client device associated with a user: identifies candidate time intervals in programming media content played at the client device based on at least a request received from the client device. The MPDS retrieves media content from a media store in the MPDS. The media content is retrieved based on at least one of the user intent information and a plurality of targeting parameters associated with the user. The MPDS dynamically generates personalized media content that corresponds to the candidate time intervals in the programming media content and further instructs playback of the dynamically generated personalized media content at the identified candidate time intervals based on the specified version of the programming media content played at the client device.

A media presentation and distribution system includes a verification server that handles dynamic verification of playback of media assets on a client device. The client device receives an asset stream of media assets that comprises one or more tags embedded in the media assets. The client device detects an asset identifier associated with each of the media assets during playback of each media asset on the client device, based on identification of a tag of the one or more tags. The verification server verifies the playback of the media assets on the client device based on received support information from the client device. The playback of the media assets are verified to satisfy defined asset delivery criteria and to identify and debug a deviation or one or more errors with the playback of the media assets.

Provided is a system and method for publishing a disparate live media output stream that complies with distribution format regulations. The system generates an updated schedule in real-time based on an event identified in a low-latency preview of a plurality of live input streams. The system further generates a disparate live media output stream manifest based on manipulation of manifests of the plurality of live input streams and a plurality of pre-encoded media assets in accordance with the updated schedule.

Systems and methods for simultaneous local access to live broadcast content are disclosed. The system can receive a request to create a viewing session for a broadcast of a live event displayed at a broadcast receiver device, and identify a plurality of player profiles that are participating in the viewing session. The system can identify, based on the plurality of player profiles, a plurality of conditional events associated with the live event, and detect an outcome of the plurality of conditional events. The system can transmit, responsive to detecting the outcome of the plurality of conditional events, instructions that cause an application executing on the broadcast receiver device to display a notification corresponding to the outcome of the plurality of conditional events with the broadcast of the live event.

A communal media system includes a synchronization system to retrieve the multimedia content for delivery to participating user devices and receive a request from a user device for multimedia content being displayed on participating user devices. The multimedia content being displayed on a first participating device is different from the multimedia content being displayed on a second participating device. The synchronization system receives social media content generated by user devices, adjusts simultaneous deliveries of the multimedia content being displayed on the first and second participating user devices and the social media content to the user devices, and transmits, to user devices in the communal session, multiple screens including the multimedia content being displayed on the first and second participating user devices at the same time. A display system causes the user devices in the communal session to simultaneously display multiple screens at the same time.
