Automated Media Publishing
This section contains detailed information about how to implement automated media publishing workflows. There are two basic methods you can use to implement such a workflow:
-
Web service-based automation, where media content is passed to the Content Engine via its REST web service
-
Syndication-based automation, where media content is passed to the Content Engine via its import/export or syndication subsystem
Whichever method you use, the basic objective is the same. You need to:
-
Define a content item of the correct type in the Content Engine.
-
Create the defined content item.
-
Change the status of the content item to
published
. This causes the Content Engine to send the video/audio to Amazon Elastic Transcoder for transcoding and key frame generation.
