Import with ActiveSync
In case this import is enabled in Etere ActiveSync, every time a new video file is detected ActiveSync will also search for a related XML descriptive file named according to the following convention:
[VideoFileName].xml
(e.g. if the video file is named truyenhinhquando.xml then the descriptive file should be truyenhinhquando.xml)
NB: If no XML descriptive file is found the video file is not imported.
In order to be imported, XML descriptive files must be valid, that it's, they must meet the following requirements:
✓The file structure is correct
✓The file contains all mandatory metadata (i.e. channel, category, title, content, tc in and tc out)
If a descriptive file is Invalid it's renamed appending the .XMB suffix (e.g. truyenhinhquando.xml.xmb) and the video file is also renamed appending the .BAD suffix (e.g. truyenhinhquando.mxf.bad)
If the file is valid, metadata are imported into the matched asset
Once imported, the descriptive file is automatically renamed appending the ".done" suffix (e.g. truyenhinhquando.xml.done) and the video file is also renamed based in the ID of the asset created in Etere (e.g. 36457.mxf).
Sample file to import
In order to be imported into Etere, the file must meet the following structure:
