Export scope
The "Discovery - Asset XML 3rd-Party Vendors" export allows generating an XML file containing all data related to a particular asset.
Export process
Files will be exported according to the following naming convention:
[AssetCode].xml (e.g. 666~TIMB2.XML)
where:
▪Assetcode : Codec of the asset to which the exported file is related
The <Title> tag is inserted in the original format (e.g. 666 ~TIMB).
The asset physical SOM and EOM are non-editable fields, the fields are not checked during export.
The fields to be exported are seasons, episode number and title. Each field is separated by “|”.
e.g. Running wild | 8 | National Geographic
Export parameters
This export allows the following parameters to be set and then [saved]:
Export_custom_3RD_party
Export tab
Export path - Browse for the path to export files. Exported files are named as follows:
[AssetCode].XML (e.g. EHD~t875140I.XML)
EDL version containing credits - Indicate the number of the EDL from which credit segments will be retrieved.
Create the file name by replacing the tilde (~) with low stretch (_) - By enabling this option, you can rename the exported XML file by replacing the tilde (~) with a low stretch (_).
For example:
Export the file as “EDH_t8751401.XML” instead of “EDH~t8751401.XML”.
Abort the export if the frames are not all at "00" - When this option is enabled, if all the markings of the asset EDL segments duration is not set to frame “00” in SOM, the export would be aborted.
Despite the option is set to true, since that the EOM of last segment can be changed by user, the checking of frame (equal to “00”) in last segment is removed.
