8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions for causing the system to identify one or more insertion points comprise instructions for causing the system to detect one or more interrupts.
9. A method, comprising:
receiving a first portion of a live stream of a content item from a content provider, the content item being either prerecorded content or content being captured from a live event, the content item comprising or to comprise a set of stream-enabled video segments, the first portion of the live stream of the content item comprising a first subset of first stream-enabled video segments of the set of stream-enabled video segments of the content item;
receiving a first source playlist associated with the first subset of first stream-enabled video segments of the first portion of the live stream of the content item, the first source playlist comprising a respective first location identifier for each of the first subset of first stream-enabled video segments of the first portion of the live stream of the content item, and each respective first location identifier being associated with a first domain different from a second domain associated with the system;
identifying one or more first insertion points within at least one first stream-enabled video segment of the first subset of first stream-enabled video segments of the first portion of the live stream of the content item;
generating, in response to the identifying the one or more first insertion points, a first consumer playlist based on the one or more first identified insertion points, the first consumer playlist associated with at least a first sub-subset of the first subset of first stream-enabled video segments of the first portion of the live stream of the content item;
providing the first consumer playlist to a consumer system;
