Patent attributes
Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to monitor streaming media are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include combining first metering data extracted from first media included in a transport stream being sent to a media device with second metering data obtained independently of the first media to form combined metering data, the combined metering data not being decodable by a meter associated with the media device. Disclosed example methods also include transcoding the combined metering data to form transcoded metering data having a format decodable by the meter associated with the media device. Disclosed example methods further include encoding the transcoded metering data as metadata associated with the transport stream.
