As explained in this chapter, there are two ways to autoingest content depending on your requirements. One method is to FTP or copy your video content to predefined folders on the Portal Server. The folders are monitored and the content is automatically ingested (autoingested) at periodic intervals. The second method is to use .xml files for content stored at remote locations or on mass storage devices. This method also supports metadata for search, copyright protection, maximum viewers, etc.
AutoIngest Content
You can FTP 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 Autoingestion. 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
The content should be placed in a
c:\inetpub\ftproot\MCS\AutoIngest. In this example the autoingest root is c:\inetpub\ftproot\MCS\AutoIngest.
