Syndication-Based Automation

You can also implement an automated video/audio publishing process using the Content Store's syndication format. This is a proprietary CCI Europe XML file format that can be used for import/export purposes. It is described in detail in the CUE Content Store Syndication Reference .

To define and create a content item in this way you simply create a syndication file containing all the required information and upload it to a specified import folder on the Content Store server. The Content Store will then automatically import the file and create a corresponding content item, triggering the transcoding and key frame generation process.

For a general description of how to use the Content Store's import service, see The Import Service.

Note also that, in order to trigger transcoding, the content items must be published on import, by setting the content element's state attribute to published.
