Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a configuration for inserting an advertisement (ad) break into a live stream by a server. One example embodiment includes a system (and method) that receives index files periodically from a media encoder of a live stream. Each index file comprising pointers to current segments of the live stream encoded in real-time. The system sets a status of the live stream to a live status and determines whether an indicator for ad break is included in a received index file. If there is no indicator for the ad break in the received index file, the system transmits the received index file to one or more client computers. If there is an indicator for the ad break in the received index file, the system processes the received index file by removing segments following the indicator from the index file, updates the status of the live stream to an ad-break status, and transmits the processed index file to the one or more client computers.
