Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can be configured to determine an issue associated with a media broadcast during the media broadcast. A copy of a portion of the media broadcast associated with the issue can be stored. A stored media broadcast associated with the media broadcast can be repaired based on the copy of the portion of the media broadcast.

Claims (31)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining, by a computing system, an issue associated with transmission quality of a media broadcast during the media broadcast based on a difference in audio levels in the media broadcast within a threshold period of time;

causing, by the computing system, storage of a copy of a portion of media captured for the media broadcast that is in a buffer of a device that captured the media when the issue associated with the transmission quality of the media broadcast is determined; and

causing, by the computing system, repair of a stored media broadcast associated with the media broadcast based on the copy of the portion of the media captured for the media broadcast.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the issue associated with the transmission quality of the media broadcast is further based on a difference between a number of packets sent by a broadcasting device and a number of packets received by a broadcasting server exceeding a threshold number of packets.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the issue associated with the transmission quality of the media broadcast is further based on a network connection associated with the media broadcast failing to satisfy a threshold connection quality.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the issue associated with the transmission quality of the media broadcast is further based on a determination of a drop in quality of the media broadcast.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the storage of the copy of the portion of the media captured for the media broadcast is associated with a rolling buffer that stores the portion of the media broadcast.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein a size of the rolling buffer is determined based on at least one of: a network connection, a geographic location, or historical data associated with the computing system.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the size of the rolling buffer changes during the media broadcast based on a change in available bandwidth.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the repair of the stored media broadcast includes matching frames of the stored media broadcast with frames of the copy of the portion of the media captured for the media broadcast.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the repair of the stored media broadcast includes replacing frames of the stored media broadcast with frames of the copy of the portion of the media captured for the media broadcast.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the device that captured the media is in communication with a broadcast server and the issue associated with the transmission quality of the media broadcast is a connectivity issue associated with the communication with the broadcast server.

11. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform a method comprising:

determining an issue associated with transmission quality of a media broadcast during the media broadcast based on a difference in audio levels in the media broadcast within a threshold period of time;

causing storage of a copy of a portion of media captured for the media broadcast that is in a buffer of a device that captured the media when the issue associated with the transmission quality of the media broadcast is determined; and

causing repair of a stored media broadcast associated with the media broadcast based on the copy of the portion of the media captured for the media broadcast.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the determining the issue associated with the transmission quality of the media broadcast is further based on a difference between a number of packets sent by a broadcasting device and a number of packets received by a broadcasting server exceeding a threshold number of packets.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the determining the issue associated with the transmission quality of the media broadcast is further based on a network connection associated with the media broadcast failing to satisfy a threshold connection quality.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the determining the issue associated with the transmission quality of the media broadcast is further based on a determination of a drop in quality of the media broadcast.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the storage of the copy of the portion of the media captured for the media broadcast is associated with a rolling buffer that stores the portion of the media broadcast.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

determining an issue associated with transmission quality of a media broadcast during the media broadcast based on a difference in audio levels in the media broadcast within a threshold period of time;

causing storage of a copy of a portion of media captured for the media broadcast that is in a buffer of a device that captured the media when the issue associated with the transmission quality of the media broadcast is determined; and

causing repair of a stored media broadcast associated with the media broadcast based on the copy of the portion of the media captured for the media broadcast.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the determining the issue associated with the transmission quality of the media broadcast is further based on a difference between a number of packets sent by a broadcasting device and a number of packets received by a broadcasting server exceeding a threshold number of packets.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the determining the issue associated with the transmission quality of the media broadcast is further based on a network connection associated with the media broadcast failing to satisfy a threshold connection quality.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the determining the issue associated with the transmission quality of the media broadcast is further based on a determination of a drop in quality of the media broadcast.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the storage of the copy of the portion of the media captured for the media broadcast is associated with a rolling buffer that stores the portion of the media broadcast.
