1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- generating, by a network-based digital video recording (nDVR) system comprising one or more computers, a first time-shift buffer and a second time-shift buffer;
receiving, from a user account via a client device by the nDVR system, a first group of content segments associated with first live content of a first content asset in the first time-shift buffer, wherein the nDVR system is in communication with the user account via a network;
receiving, by the nDVR system, a first request to record the first live content;
transforming, by the nDVR system, the first live content to a first recorded content asset based at least in part on the first group of content segments, wherein the first recorded content asset is recorded in storage that has a storage quota associated with the user account;
receiving, by the nDVR system, a second group of content segments associated with second live content in the second time-shift buffer;
receiving, by the nDVR system, while continuing to receive the first group of content segments, a second request to record the second live content;
transforming, by the nDVR system, the second live content to a second recorded content asset based at least in part on the second group of content segments, wherein the second recorded content asset is recorded in the storage;
creating, by the nDVR system, a first asset record associated with the first recorded content asset and a second asset record associated with the second recorded content asset;
determining, by the nDVR system, that the first recorded content asset corresponds to a first content asset and a first portion of the first content asset is modified in the first recorded content asset;
retrieving, by the nDVR system, the first content asset from a source;
replacing, by the nDVR system, the first recorded content asset using the first content asset;
generating, by the nDVR system, a first manifest file based at least in part on determining that the first portion of the first content asset was modified; and
generating, by the nDVR system, based at least in part on the second asset record, a second manifest file associated with the second recorded content asset.

Abstract
This disclosure describes systems and methods related to a cloud-enabled network-based digital video recorder. In some embodiments, a request to record an asset may be received from a client device. An asset record associated with the request may be created. A first record event for generation of a manifest file may be created. A second record event for entitlement validation of an asset may be created. A third record event for quality control for the asset may be created based at least in part on the asset record. A manifest file associated with the asset may be generated based at least in part on the asset record.

10. A system comprising:
-
at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to access the at least one memory and to execute the computer-executable instructions to; generate a first time-shift buffer and a second time-shift buffer; receive, from a client device on behalf of a user account, a first group of content segments associated with first live content of a first content asset in the first time-shift buffer, wherein the system is in communication with the user account via a network; receive a first request to record the first live content; transform the first live content to a first recorded content asset based at least in part on the first group of content segments, wherein the first recorded content asset is recorded in storage that has a storage quota associated with the user account; receive, from the client device on behalf of the user account, a second group of content segments associated with second live content in the second time-shift buffer; receive, while continuing to receive the first group of content segments, a second request to record the second live content; transform the second live content to a second recorded content asset based at least in part on the second group of content segments, wherein the second recorded content asset is recorded in the storage; create a first asset record associated with the first recorded content asset and a second asset record associated with the second recorded content asset; determine that the first recorded content asset corresponds to a first content asset and a first portion of the first content asset is modified in the first recorded content asset; retrieve the first content asset from a source; replace the first recorded content asset using the first content asset; generate a first manifest file, based at least in part on determining that the first portion of the first content asset was modified; and generate, based at least in part on the second asset record, a second manifest file associated with the second recorded content asset. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
