Systems and methods for securely generating live previews
The disclosed technology relates to securely generating live previews of a live video stream. A request for a first preview is received from a user device, the first preview request relating to a live video stream. The live video stream is clipped to generate a first live preview, the first live preview comprising a first start time and a first end time. A request for a second preview request is received from the user device, the second preview request relating to the live video stream. The live video stream is clipped to generate a second live preview, the second live preview has a second start time and a second end time. The second start time begins at a pre-configured duration after the first end time of the first live preview.
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving a first preview request from a user device, the first preview request relating to a live video stream;
clipping the live video stream to generate a first live preview, the first live preview comprising a first start time and a first end time;
transmitting the first live preview to the user device;
receiving a second preview request from the user device, the second preview request relating to the live video stream; and
clipping the live video stream to generate a second live preview, the second live preview comprising a second start time and a second end time, wherein the second start time begins at a pre-configured duration after the first end time of the first live preview, and wherein the pre-configured duration is configured to prevent reconstruction of content presented in the live video stream.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising requesting a first token for the first live preview, wherein the first token grants access to the first live preview and prevents access to the second live preview.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a manifest associated with the live video stream;
identifying an advertisement break included in the live video stream, the advertisement break having a third start time and a third end time; and
setting the second start time to begin after the third end time of the advertisement break.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a manifest associated with the live video stream;
identifying an advertisement break included in the live video stream, the advertisement break having a third start time and a third end time; and
setting the second start time to begin after the third start time of the advertisement break and before the third end time of the advertisement break.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a manifest associated with the live video stream;
identifying an advertisement break included in the live video stream, the advertisement break having a third start time and a third end time; and
setting the second end time to end after the third start time of the advertisement break and before the third end time of the advertisement break.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising storing the first live preview and the second live preview at a content distribution network.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying the first live preview in a webpage.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first live preview comprises a first live preview playlist; and wherein the first live preview playlist comprises references to video segments that are listed in a sequence for playback.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the second live preview comprises a second live preview playlist; and wherein the second live preview playlist comprises references to video segments that are listed in a sequence for playback.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the live video stream is selected based on data associated with a user of the user device.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, the instructions, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:
receive a first preview request from a user device, the first preview request relating to a live video stream;
clip the live video stream to generate a first live preview, the first live preview comprising a first start time and a first end time;
transmit the first live preview to the user device;
receive a second preview request from the user device, the second preview request relating to the live video stream; and
clip the live video stream to generate a second live preview, the second live preview comprising a second start time and a second end time, wherein the second start time begins at a pre-configured duration after the first end time of the first live preview, and wherein the pre-configured duration is configured to prevent reconstruction of content presented in the live video stream.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the computing system to request a first token for the first live preview, wherein the first token grants access to the first live preview and prevents access to the second live preview.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the computing system to display the first live preview in a webpage.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the first live preview comprises a first live preview playlist; and wherein the first live preview playlist comprises references to video segments that are listed in a sequence for playback.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the second live preview comprises a second live preview playlist; and wherein the second live preview playlist comprises references to video segments that are listed in a sequence for playback.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the live video stream is selected based on data associated with a user of the user device.
17. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the system, cause the system to:
receive a first preview request from a user device, the first preview request relating to a live video stream;
clip the live video stream to generate a first live preview, the first live preview comprising a first start time and a first end time;
transmit the first live preview to the user device;
receive a second preview request from the user device, the second preview request relating to the live video stream; and
clip the live video stream to generate a second live preview, the second live preview comprising a second start time and a second end time, wherein the second start time begins at a pre-configured duration after the first end time of the first live preview, wherein the pre-configured duration is configured to prevent reconstruction of content presented in the live video stream.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to display the first live preview in a webpage.
19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the first live preview comprises a first live preview playlist; and wherein the first live preview playlist comprises references to video segments that are listed in a sequence for playback.
20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the live video stream is selected based on data associated with a user of the user device.
