1. A system comprising:
a processing hardware and a memory storing a software code;
the processing hardware configured to execute the software code to:
receive a content stream including a plurality of video frames each having at least one of a default content or a supplemental content, and encoded metadata including a metadata header portion and a metadata body portion, wherein the metadata header portion is embedded in same location within each of the plurality of video frames, wherein the metadata body portion is randomly located within each of the plurality of video frames on a per-frame basis, and wherein a first video frame of the plurality of video frames includes a first default content, a first supplemental content, and first encoded metadata;
decode the first encoded metadata of the first video frame to produce a first decoded metadata;
select, using the first decoded metadata, at least a first portion of the first supplemental content for use in enhancing the first default content;
transfer, using the first decoded metadata, the selected first portion of the first supplemental content to one or more predetermined locations in the first default content to produce an enhanced first video content; and
output the enhanced first video content to a display device.
