Checking Event status in the active Playlist
11.1 Workflow
The table below describes the statuses Events go through from being scheduled in an active Playlist
to playout.
When Events are scheduled, the active Playlist
initially displays this icon. It means that the
Assets’ status has not been checked yet.
Optional: the Event has been checked manually
in TX/MAM, but not for file availability on the K2
Edge.
Note that in active Playlists this checked-sign has
to disappear to indicate that the file is available
on the K2 Edge, resulting in a blank or cleared
status field.
Format not in Channel Pack.
Asset missing.
Metadata missing.
No Format.
The Cobalt service dataserver will check if the
Events’ Assets, metadata and Formats are
available in TX/MAM. If not, an error messages
will appear.
POC will give a warning if no Format is linked to
the Event.
Asset file requested from archive.
Asset file waiting for fetch from storage.
Fetching asset files from storage to playout.
Next, if the Asset is OK the Cobalt service
playout_distri will start checking for file availability
and fetching files. The Channel definition’s
lookahead time defines when this process starts
Empty Asset.
Delivery aborted.
Asset file could not be fetched.
If an error occurs during file fetch or delivery, an
error message appears.
