MECHANISM FOR QUEUING LIVESTREAM CONTENT IN A MEDIA CONTENT DISPLAY QUEUE

A mechanism is provided to queue live content items in a playlist by including timestamps corresponding to a start time and end time of a content item. A livestream may be added to a playlist that includes a timestamp and content items from the playlist may be provided to a user. Subsequently, a content item service may determine a user may not reach a livestream on time. The content item service may generate a notification to be presented to the user in a user interface that includes selectable icons representing actions that may be performed on the content items. In response to a user selection, the content item service may begin recording the livestream. At a later time, the recorded livestream may be presented to the user as content on demand
