Automated Video Publishing

This section contains detailed information about how to implement the automated publishing workflows described in Automated Workflows. Whichever method you use, the basic objective is the same. You need to:

1. Define a content item of the correct type to the Content Engine. In this case it must be an external video content types as described in Defining an External Video Content Type. The definition must include all required fields. The most important of these is the video field described in Defining an External Video Content Type, which must contain JSON data specifying the URI and MIME type of the video to be published.

2. Create the defined content item. This causes the Content Engine to send the video to Viz One Publisher for transcoding and keyframe generation.

3. Change the status of the content item to published.
