AutoIngest Content
You can FTP prerecorded content or copy prerecorded content to the ETV Portal Server for easy ingestion to the VOD server(s). The ETV Portal Server periodically (every 5 minutes) polls certain folders for presence of content and if found ingests the content onto multiple VOD servers. This process is called Automatic Content Ingestion or Auto-ingestion. The content can come from a pushbutton recording on the Portal server, a VBrick VBStar, or a file recorded with StreamPlayer Plus.
Note You cannot autoingest VBPresenter or other third-party presentations into the Portal Server. You must use the native FTP facilities in each application.
The content should be placed in a pre-defined sub-folder (mcs\autoingest) under the FTP root folder. This pre-defined folder is called the auto-ingest root folder. For example, if the FTP root is at c:\inetpub\ftproot, the content could be placed anywhere under
c:\inetpub\ftproot\MCS\AutoIngest. In this example the auto-ingest root is c:\inetpub\ftproot\MCS\AutoIngest.
Note The default FTP path may be on a different drive, refer to the IIS default FTP configuration to confirm.
Content that is placed under the auto-ingest root folder on the ETV Portal Server will be ingested into the root video folder on the VOD server provided that it is configured using the ETV Portal Server Administrator interface. If you want to place content on a subfolder in the VOD server, that same folder would have to be created and configured using the ETV Portal Server Admin interface as described below.
