Video generation system to render frames on demand using a fleet of servers
Content controller system comprising rendering server system comprising a plurality of servers. The servers receiving a plurality of segment render requests that correspond respectively to segments included in a set of media content item segments. The servers render the segments corresponding to the segment render requests using a media content identification and a main user identification. Rendering the segments comprises retrieving metadata from a metadata database associated with the media content identification, rendering the segments using the metadata, generating a main user avatar based on the main user identification, and incorporating the main user avatar into the segments. The servers can upload the segments to a segment database and update segment states in a segment state database to indicate that the segments are available. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.
1. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory having instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, causes the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving a request for a media content item from a client device;
compiling and transmitting to the client device a playlist including a first set of media content item segments based on segment states from a segment state database;
causing segments corresponding to a plurality of segment render requests to be rendered using the request for the media content item, wherein the segment render requests correspond to segments included in a second set of media content item segments; and
updating the segment states in the segment state database to indicate that the segments are available.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein
the media content item is a video associated with a media content identification included in the request.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein
the segments included in the second set of media content item segments are a plurality of frames included in the media content item.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the request includes a main user identification that is associated with a user of the client device.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprising:
retrieving the segment states from the segment state database.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein rendering the segments further comprises:
incorporating a main user avatar into the segments, wherein the main user avatar is based on a main user identification included in the request.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprising:
collecting the segments; and
generating the second set of media content item segments.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprising: updating the playlist to include the second set of media content item segments.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein updating the playlist further comprises:
compiling the updated playlist to include the second set of media content item segments; and
transmitting the updated playlist to the client device.
10. A method comprising:
receiving a request for a media content item from a client device;
compiling and transmitting to the client device a playlist including a first set of media content item segments based on segment states from a segment state database;
rendering segments corresponding to a plurality of segment render requests using the request for the media content item, wherein the segment render requests correspond to segments included in a second set of media content item segments; and
updating segment states in the segment state database to indicate that the segments are available.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein
the media content item is a video associated with a media content identification included in the request.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein
the first set of media content item segments and the second set of media content item segments, respectively, are a plurality of frames included in the media content item.
13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
updating the playlist to include the second set of media content item segments.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein updating the playlist further comprises:
compiling the updated playlist to include the second set of media content item segments; and
transmitting the updated playlist to the client device.
15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first set of media content item segments is sequential to the second set of media content item segments.
16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the request includes a main user identification that is associated with a user of the client device.
17. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
retrieving the segment states from the segment state database.
18. The method of claim 10 , wherein rendering the segments further comprises:
incorporating a main user avatar into the segments, wherein the main user avatar is based on a main user identification included in the request.
19. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
collecting the segments and generating the second set of media content item segments; and
encoding the second set of media content item segments into a video.
20. A rendering server system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory component having instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, causes the rendering server system to perform operations comprising:
receiving a request for a media content item from a client device;
compiling and transmitting to the client device a playlist including a first set of media content item segments based on segment states from a segment state database;
generating a plurality of segment render requests, wherein the segment render requests correspond respectively to segments included in a second set of media content item segments;
causing the segments corresponding to the segment render requests to be rendered using the request for the media content item; and
updating segment states in the segment state database to indicate that the segments are available.
