A small blue storage box icon will
show up in the corner of the
thumbnail of any content that
has been archived.
A small broken link icon will show
up in the corner of the thumbnail
of any content that is archived
and no longer online (local) on
the HyperCaster’s own storage.
Additionally, the thumbnail is
faded out. This means the
content only exists on Archive,
and is considered to be Offline.
Archived content can still be seen and scheduled – like any other video on the HyperCaster. It can
also be previewed if a preview was created while a local copy still existed. When Offline content is
scheduled, the HyperCaster will automatically retrieve the content from Archive. How fast content can
be retrieved depends on the speed of your storage and network, the size of the file, and whether there
are other retrieval tasks in progress or in queue. As such, it is important to consider this when
scheduling offline content to make sure you are scheduling enough in advance to ensure the file is
retrieved prior to the start of the event.
Scheduled content that is still Offline is highlighted on your schedule with a slight fade out on the
schedule entry text. Offline scheduled content will also show up in the Missing File Report, XML feed,
and System Health based on the time window to be alerted. You can set the Missing File Alert Window
on the
Config–>Schedule page . This is useful for example to receive email alerts in advance of playout
for missing files, whether those are TBD programs where the file as not been imported, or Offline
content that has not yet been retrieved.
A time-saving feature, if you choose to enable it, is to ask the HyperCaster to auto-archive content
upon import. This setting is found under Config → Content → Content. With this option enabled,
whenever content is imported, it will automatically be archived to the designated Archive server.
Export
To export the content list as a file named content.csv, click the Export icon on the left side of the
Content page. If your file system permits, you may rename the file. This file includes the filename
and duration of all the content on your server. Some installations find it helpful to have a list of what
is on their server. Others sort the content.csv file by duration so they can quickly find content that
can fill programming gaps
Content RSS Feed
The RSS feed button on the left side of the Content page is a quick link to information on the imported
content on your server in an RSS-like format. The actual display depends on the browser you are
using, and may include:
