AutoIngestXML Modes
There are three modes of operation as shown in Table 14. The mode you use depends on where the source files are located.
Table 14. AutoIngest Modes
Mode | Description |
|
|
Direct | The target source video file is FTPed to the AutoIngestXML folder. The |
| video file and the .xml file must both be FTPed to this folder. In Direct |
| mode, you must FTP the video file first or the ingestion will fail. |
|
|
Absolute | WM files only. The target source video file resides in a folder on the |
| Portal Server. Only the .xml file is FTPed to the AutoIngestXML folder. |
| This is useful for mass storage devices because you do not have to |
| copy the files to the AutoIngestXML folder on the Portal Server. |
|
|
Remote FTP † | MPEG Files only. The target source video file resides on a remote FTP |
| server. Only the .xml file is FTPed to the AutoIngestXML folder. |
|

Using the XML Template
There are three named templates in the VBrick\MCS\utils folder for Direct, Absolute, and Remote FTP files. Use the appropriate template to manually create an .xml file for each video file. Use Notepad, TextPad, or a similar tool and then FTP this file (and the video in Direct mode) to the AutoIngestXML folder on the Portal Server. (In Direct mode, you must FTP the video file first or the ingestion will fail.) The filename can be any alphanumeric string with an
.xml extension. The following code shows a sample .xml file that uses the Direct mode template. The template for each mode is the same except for the SourceFileName and SourceFileType tags. Table 15 explains the required format for these tags.
