if I'm not mistaken, the gist of the patent (10511557) seems to be

  1) video playback can be switched between "live" and "vod"
  2) a playback system (MCMS) that renders 1 or more streams and automatically prioritizes which streams to watch?
  2) video streams can be persisted to device
  3) video streaming reduces in quality during poor network conditions

I can't think of any live stream app that doesn't do anything similar (youtube live immediately comes to mind). It does seem like the patent was applied for in 2007, but seeing something like makes me think anything anyone builds now is bound to be sued eventually.

How is justin.tv being started in 2007 [0] not prior art given the timing?
