Import One File:

To import one content file at a time, choose the file from the drop-down list and click the Import
button. The Import Log is displayed, stating whether or not the import was successful. The application
also displays the thumbnail or full row for the imported file. To import more files, select another
filename from the drop-down list and click Import again. Once each file is imported, you can edit the
metadata such as program title, episode, and description information by clicking the Edit link.

To locate recently imported content that might need updates to its metadata, choose the Advanced
Search feature and filter for recently added content, such as Last 5 Minutes.

Add a Live Stream

To add a live stream to TelVue® CloudCast™ for management and adding to your playlist categories,
use the New External Source function. To begin, go to the Content tab and click on the New External
Source menu on the left sidebar. Select Live Stream from the drop down and enter a name for the
stream.

On the next screen, you can add live stream formats. You will typically add an RTMP source and an
HLS source. RTMP will stream to devices that have flash enabled, and HLS will stream to iOS devices.

TelVue® CloudCast™ creates a content record for the live stream as well as a thumbnail image from
your splash logo, or a blank page if you do not use splash images. To change the thumbnail image of
the stream, click on its title to go to its Show Content page and then click Edit Thumbnail to upload a
new image.

The live stream content record is now available to edit metadata and drag and drop into a playlist, like
any other content record. If you would like to highlight your live channel, you can set your live stream
to be the first item of your first playlist. If you feature more than one live stream, you can, for
example, create a playlist named “Live Channels” and drag and drop your live stream records into that
playlist. Live stream records and video-on-demand content records can co-exist in a playlist without
issues.

Manage Content – Overview

The Content page shows available content and manages content on the TelVue® CloudCast™ server.
Use this page to see what content is currently available, to search for specific content, to import new
content files, to perform bulk actions on selected content such as deleting or categorizing, and to
create and manage playlists. Two views are available; the default thumbnail view and the table view.

The top of the page shows how many titles appear on this page. To see more titles, use the dropdown
list to select a larger display size. You may display up to 100 titles per page. The other drop-down box
lets you switch between Thumbnail View and Table View. The Select All checkbox on the right (Select
All on Page n if the content does not fit on one page) lets you check all titles displayed on the page for
bulk action. The Deselect All option (Deselect All on All Pages if the content does not fit on one page)
lets you uncheck all titles on all pages. You can use the Select All checkbox and then check or uncheck
individual boxes across multiple pages.

Note: To select all content on the CMS, first choose Show 100 per page from the drop-down box. Clear
all advanced searches so all titles are displayed. Click the Select All checkbox. Advance to the next
page and click the Select All checkbox again. Repeat for each page.
