Content that is placed under the autoingest 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.
Go to
Global Settings > Servers > Add/Modify Video On-Demand Content Folders. Here an
existing or new folder can be associated with selected VOD servers for autoingestion. The
folders are listed on the left with the path relative to autoingest root. The VOD servers are
listed on the right inside the
Add/Modify Folders on Selected Servers box. Select the desired
folder and then select the target VOD servers to ingest content. Press Submit. The folder is
now created under the autoingest root folder and configured. See Add/Modify Video On
Demand Content Folders on page 34 for details.
Example
If under the root video folder on the VOD Server you had a folder (or want to create a
folder) called
Training and you wanted trainingvideo.mpg to be placed there.
FTP the file to the Portal Server into
<drive:>\inetpub\ftproot\mcs\autoingest\training\
The ETV Portal Server will then ingest the file automatically into the folder on the VOD
server(s) that this folder is associated with. The file
trainingvideo.mpg would be displayed
on the ETV Portal Server user interface in the Training folder.
Note The default FTP path may be on a different drive, refer to the IIS default FTP
configuration to confirm.
