1. A method for live stream disaster recovery, comprising:
routing a first user request for media content to a first video encoding and distribution platform as a primary platform, the primary platform including, for primary video transmission: primary video encoding, video packing, manifest generation and content delivery network (CDN) components;
determining an operational status of the primary platform;
if the operational status of the primary platform positively indicates the ability to deliver streamed content, continuing to route subsequent user requests for media content to the primary platform;
if the operational status of the primary platform negatively indicates the ability to deliver streamed content, routing subsequent user requests for media content to a second video encoding and distribution platform running in parallel to the primary platform as a disaster recovery (DR) platform, which uses separate video transmission and includes independent DR video encoding, video packing, manifest generation, and content delivery network (CDN) components.
