Add/Modify On-Demand Content Folders
The Add/Modify On-Demand Content folders can be used to autoingest content into a
particular NXG Video-on-Demand server. The Portal Server periodically polls certain folders
for presence of content and if found ingests the content onto multiple NXG servers. Any
files are FTP'd into a particular folder in the Autoingest folder will automatically be ingested
into the corresponding folder on the NXG server(s). You have to add these folders using the
window shown below. (See Auto Content Ingestion
on page 65 for more about auto-
ingestion.)
FTP User Name This is the FTP user name that the Portal Server Server uses when
publishing content to the server. This FTP User is
vbrickuser by
default. If nothing is entered, the Portal Server will automatically use
vbrickuser. This refers to a user account that already exists on the
server. If the FTP User Name is changed on the NXG server, it must
be changed here as well.
Server Type NXG – Kasenna VoD server.
VOD-W – InfoValue VoD server.
FTP – Use FTP only if you want to copy from the Recorder server
to another FTP server in which case it records to
ftp:\root.

The password is
vbrickuser by default. If the FTP Password is
changed on the server, it must be changed here as well.
