Server-side ad insertion fails quietly. No error, no alarm, just lost revenue. We built the monitor that catches it for a major Latin American pay-TV operator.
The operator runs 52 live linear channels with advertising stitched into every break server-side. When a break goes wrong, nothing errors. The stream keeps playing.
The failure is invisible unless someone is watching that exact channel at that exact moment. The only defence was manual spot-checking, which can never cover 52 channels at once.
Continuous, protocol-aware, and tuned to the four ways an ad break actually goes wrong.
All 52 channels monitored continuously on both DASH and HLS, the two ways the streams actually reach viewers.
Each ad break is analysed and labelled as commercial, promo, or slate, so fill quality is measured rather than assumed.
No-fill, promo-only fill, over-fill, and missing tracking beacons each raise their own targeted alert.
A live dashboard for the operations floor, Slack alerts for immediate action, and an hourly digest with downloadable reports for the record.
Streaming platforms change under you: encoder updates, ad server behaviour, new channels. We run this monitor as a managed service, so when the platform shifts, the monitoring shifts with it.
A 30 minute scoping call. No pitch deck, no obligation. Just an honest answer on whether we can fix it.
