Multimedia WebTV Publishing: A Quick Guide

  Organising your Media Playlists

In order to create media playlists, you need to have content in My Studio > Video-on-Demand,  Live Broadcasts or third-party RTMP hosted live stream libraries. You may also use Feeds received directly into your account from colleagues, partners or preferred relevant sector distributors.

-------------------------------------------

MY STUDIO on the 3B PLATFORM

·         Click on My Studio > Playlists menu on your account

·         Click to Create a new Playlist

·         Click to Add Media Files into the new playlist

·         Select your media file source: On-Demand Videos, Live Broadcasts, RTMP or Feed libraries.

-------------------------------------------

For your videos to appear on your WebTV

·         Click on the Options menu next to the video title in My Studio > Playlist library

·         Click on the Connect option for the video to show on the playlist

·         Withdraw or Delete will remove the video from your playlist; this will also disable any shared or embedded copies that viewers may have generated from the published WebTV on your website.

 

·         Click on the WebTV Player Generator or click on Publish Playlist to enter the TV Channel Builder application.

  Defining the Playlists to be included in your WebTV

You may have a number of different playlists in My Studio > Playlists and you may not want to publish all the playlists on the same WebTV.  You can define the playlist names to be included in each WebTV Player code generated before publishing on your website.

-------------------------------------------

For Single (S) style Playlists

·         Select (LST 1) from the project Layers to highlight the video thumbs object

·         Select the playlist name in the Properties dropdown to define the playlist for publishing

·         Preview and Save changes to your completed Single style playlist WebTV project design.

For Tab (T) style or Dropdown (D) style Selection Playlist

·         Select (LST 1) from the project Layers to highlight the video thumbs object

·         Select the playlist name in the Properties dropdown to define the Start-up Playlist thumbs

·         Next, select the (TABS-LST) or (SEL-LST) Layer to highlight the Tabs or the Dropdown object

·         Tick box on Load all to include all playlists from My Studio > Playlists and select the Initial Playlist

·         Alternatively, click on the Items icon to define specific playlist names to be included in this WebTV

·         Drag playlist names from the right folder to the left in sorting order of how you want the playlists to be displayed:
1-2-3 left to right order for the Tabs and top to bottom order for the Dropdown selections.

 

·         Preview and Save changes to your completed multi-playlist WebTV project design

 

Note:  Saving changes to an already published WebTV project will immediately overwrite and reflect on your website unless the project is saved as a new file under a different name.

 

  Publishing your Multimedia WebTV Player to your website

·         Click on the Publish menu to generate the complete WebTV Embed Code for your website

·         Copy the embedded code and paste it on to the HTML page on your website

·         Your WebTV design, playlists and all the media content in your playlists will be launched

·         To create a new project based on your new design, simply open your saved project and save a copy, giving it a new project name that reflects the type of videos in the playlists.

 

·         Save changes and Preview your new WebTV project design

·         Click on the Publish menu to generate new WebTV embed code for the new project.

Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with the way the WebTV projects are designed before attempting to build your own. 
If you use a third-party design company, remember they will need to have access to your account in order to complete the design.

The design team at 3B NEXUS can also build custom Multimedia WebTV to your specification. Contact sales@3bnexus.com to book a designer or visit the general product and technical support pages.
