Channel-bound identity
Short-lived sessions, issued before playback.
The website keeps the token in memory, renews it before expiration, and scopes it to the requested channel.

SSAI Proxy Server.
Advertising built into the stream.
EDS SSAI is a blocker-resistant server-side HLS insertion API. It places prepared creative media inside an authenticated playback timeline—preserving continuity while keeping authorization away from external segment CDNs.

The insertion path
One request. One governed timeline.
Explore the path from a channel-bound browser session to a compatible creative, stable playback timeline, and correlated measurement context.
Bounded HLS parsing
Source playlists are normalized before mutation.
Supported manifests, durations, sequences, keys, maps, and resource URLs are checked before any candidate can enter the timeline.
Malformed sources fail safelyPrepared inventory
Only compatible, prevalidated media is eligible.
Container, codec, rendition, URL, segment duration, and declared creative duration must match the selected source profile.
No raw MP4 stitchingContinuity engine
The initial splice lands where live clients start.
Prepared segments enter at the live edge with deterministic sequence identity, target-duration preservation, and explicit discontinuity boundaries.
Validated in official ChromeAd-break context
Playback events bind back to the issued splice.
An opaque ad-break identifier connects the authenticated session, channel, creative decision, and accepted telemetry milestones.
Replay-aware ingestion
EDS-developed technology
Designed for the places client-side ads break.
The proxy moves decision and manifest work away from page-level ad scripts while preserving explicit security and media-compatibility gates.
Session-bound playback
Signed, short-lived sessions provide stable viewer scheduling identity without using the bearer token or IP address as the production key.
Live manifest continuity
Sequence identities and advertised splices remain stable across sliding HLS refreshes, source movement, and recurring opportunities.
Prepared creative matching
Deterministic matching admits only prepackaged media that satisfies the selected source's supported phase-one profile.
Atomic insertion commits
Scheduling, correlation, and continuity state commit only when that exact creative is actually advertised in the returned manifest.
EDSDDCP telemetry
Strict, bounded event payloads correlate impression and playback milestones without treating ingestion alone as billable proof.
Outbound request safety
Approved DNS results are pinned to outbound connections and revalidated across redirects to reduce SSRF and DNS-rebinding risk.

Proof from the real playback path.
The tagged v2.0.2 build was tested through the public website in official Chrome, then returned to protected content-only operation.

Telemetry accepted impression, start, quartile, midpoint, and completion milestones. Ingestion remained correctly marked non-billable and not independently viewability-verified.
Minimal public surface
Three operations. One controlled session.
The browser obtains a channel-bound session, authorizes only the SSAI manifest request, and submits correlated milestones using the retained ad-break context.
// Issue a short-lived, channel-bound playback session POST https://ssai.edsmobileapp.com/api/v1/sessions Content-Type: application/json { "channel": "your-registered-channel" } // Token stays in browser memory; signing material stays server-side.
Origin-scoped bearerAuthorization is attached only to the EDS SSAI stream path—not to external content or creative CDN URLs.
Renew and retry onceThe website renews before expiration and performs one controlled retry when authenticated playback expires.
Native HLS safetySafari/native playback uses credential-free direct media rather than placing bearer tokens in playlist query strings.
Built for streaming businesses
Monetization infrastructure without a player rewrite.
News and owned media
Introduce prepared sponsor inventory into supported live feeds while retaining direct-playback fallback and stable content continuity.
Authenticated live channels
Bind insertion cadence and telemetry context to a channel-aware playback session instead of a page script or mutable client identifier.
SSAI as an API service
Integrate session issuance, personalized manifests, and correlated event ingestion behind a compact HTTP interface.
Pilot-stage clarity
Engineered promises, not marketing fiction.
EDS SSAI is validated for a deliberate phase-one operating model. Pilot qualification confirms that a customer's media and commercial workflow fit that model before activation.
✓Prepared, unencrypted MPEG-TS creative inventory; no runtime transcoding or raw progressive-MP4 insertion.
✓One selected highest-bandwidth rendition in the current milestone; personalized ABR master output remains future work.
✓Authenticated and correlated telemetry ingestion; not durable billing, independent viewability verification, or automatic VAST beacon delivery.
✓Blocker-resistant server-side delivery—not a claim that any domain, URL, or media resource is literally impossible to block.
