ETV Portal Server Administrator Guide 19
This function is useful for VBrick VBSTAR appliances to easily transfer content from their
hard drives to the NXG server. (This feature can also be used for users who acquire content
outside of the ETV Portal Server, for example StreamPlayer Plus.) When a folder is created,
you must check a box in
Add/Modify Folders on Selected Servers to associate the folder
with a server for autoingestion. ETV Portal Server checks these folders every 5 minutes and
ingests new content if present. This feature only applies to Autoingest; it does not apply to
Record or Add Video.
As the folder structure is created in this section, autoingest folders will be created in the FTP
root path. For example, if the FTP root path is
c:\inetpub\ftproot, then folders that are
created in the Add/Modify On-Demand content folders, will also be created in the
c:\inetpub\ftproot\mcs\autoingest folder.
Autoingested content can go into any folder that has been associated with a server or servers
using the
Add/Modify Folders on Selected Servers check boxes shown above. If using a
VBStar, be sure to associate a folder with a server for autoingest. This enables the folder that
the VBStar will FTP files into. This function is not associated with a user or group
permission, and is controlled only by the Administrator. See Auto Content Ingestion
on
page 65 for a more detailed description of the Auto-ingestion functionality.
VBricks
All VBricks must be configured in ETV Portal Server before they can be managed and used
for scheduled events. (Brick configuration is only required if you be using the
Scheduled
Programs
feature.) Once configured, all VBricks in the system are shown on the following
Note Existing folder structures on an NXG server will be mirorred in the Portal Server.
However you will still need to associate those folders with other server(s) if the file
is to be auto-ingested onto multiple servers.
