ETV Portal Server Administrator Guide

This function is useful for VBrick VBSTAR appliances to easily transfer content from their 
hard drives to the NXG server. (This feature can also be used for users who acquire content 
outside of the ETV Portal Server, for example StreamPlayer Plus.) When a folder is created, 
you must check a box in 

 to associate the folder 

with a server for autoingestion. ETV Portal Server checks these folders every 5 minutes and 
ingests new content if present. This feature only applies to Autoingest; it does not apply to 

 or 

.

As the folder structure is created in this section, autoingest folders will be created in the FTP 
root path.  For example, if the FTP root path is 

c:\inetpub\ftproot

, then folders that are 

created in the Add/Modify On-Demand content folders, will also be created in the 

c:\inetpub\ftproot\mcs\autoingest

 folder.

Autoingested content can go into any folder that has been associated with a server or servers 
using the 

 check boxes shown above. If using a 

VBStar, be sure to associate a folder with a server for autoingest. This enables the folder that 
the VBStar will FTP files into. This function is not associated with a user or group 
permission, and is controlled only by the Administrator. See Auto Content Ingestion on 
page 65 for a more detailed description of the Auto-ingestion functionality.

All VBricks must be configured in ETV Portal Server before they can be managed and used 
for scheduled events. (Brick configuration is only required if you be using the 

 feature.) Once configured, all VBricks in the system are shown on the following 

Existing folder structures on an NXG server will be mirorred in the Portal Server. 
However you will still need to associate those folders with other server(s) if the file 
is to be auto-ingested onto multiple servers.
