MRSS (Media Really Simple Syndication) is a feed format that allows the distribution of multimedia files like audio and video in a standardized way.
MRSS feeds provide a structured way to organize and manage your videocontent. It allows you to update and maintain your content library with ease.
How to add an MRSS feed
From the Content section of the left menu select MRSS Feed
Click on Add MRSS Feed button
Now, give a Name for your feed and paste your MRSS feed URL
Click on the Save button
Your feed will be validated, and the basic details will be displayed. If your feed has any issues you can rectify them.
Click on the Upload Feed button once you confirm take a look at the validated data
⌛ Once your new feed is made active, it may take a few minutes for the content to be ingested. Afterward, the feed will be refreshed every 1 hour.
When you click the Refresh button, a corn will start within next 10 minutes
You can add another feed by clicking on the Add MRSS Feed button
If you have any changes in your Feed URL or you want to rename the feed, you can click on the Edit button to the right of the feed to make changes
You can also delete an added feed by clicking on the Delete button to the right of your feed
⚠️ Note: Deleting a feed does not delete the videos previously ingested from that feed.
Though the data refresh happens every 60 minutes, you can also refresh manually after making changes to your MRSS feed, by clicking on the Refresh button. Just give a few minutes (it will take about 10 minutes) for the feed data to be processed and your changes will be reflected
⚠️ Note: Only up to 100 videos will be inserted in a run. If your feed has over 100 videos, you will have to wait for the next schedules to happen
Example, if there are 350 videos to be inserted, it will take 4 refreshes one after the other.
Clicking refresh multiple times together will not support it, you will have to refresh only after the previous refresh is complete.
