Auto Content Ingestion
AutoIngest Content via XML
This feature lets you autoingest video files by placing an .xml file in the AutoIngestXML folder on the Portal Server. It also lets you associate metadata with the video such as maximum number of viewers for copyright protection, keywords for searching, etc. As explained below there are three ways (see Table 14) to use this feature depending on where the source files are located. The Portal Server monitors this folder for .xml command files and autoingests any files at
The Portal Server autoingest folder is under FTP root on the Portal Server at /MCS/ AutoIngestXML The video file and the .xml file must be FTPed (or copied) to this directory and the target video title must contain the fully qualified path to the destination. The autoingest user name as configured in the Portal Server Admin Console will be used to access available VOD servers. If the autoingest user does not have publishing rights for the VOD directory specified in the MCSTitle, the ingestion will fail.
Autoingest users must have VOD server access to at least one server capable of storing the video type (WM, MPEG, etc.). Only existing custom fields will be recognized and associated with the video (see Custom Fields on page 25 for more information). The Windows Event Viewer will log the ingest command, noting the full path and the .xml data contained in the command, and will also log the successful ingestion of the video.
TTo create an autoingest user with publishing rights:
1.Open the Admin Console, go to Users > Add User, and create an autoingest user, e.g.
AutoIngestUser.
2.On the same page, go to Allow Access to Specific VOD Servers and select the servers this user can access.
3.On the same page, go to Allow Content Publishing and select the folders this user can publish to.
