What is the Video Catalog?
The Video Catalog is a library of ingested video assets, including live and video-on-demand (VOD).
The Video Catalog contains a collection of video assets. Each video asset contains required information for the player to be able to repliably play an asset, for example, multiple replicas, metadata, and video sources.
Assets display in a sortable list with paginated rows and pages. At the bottom of the page, view the total number of assets and specify the rows displayed per page.
Note: The video asset session and entity are linked.
Sort the Video Catalog by:
- Kind: video asset type (live/VOD)
- Title: video asset title
- ID: video asset ID
- Status: video asset playback type (live/planned/on demand/scheduled)
- Active Replica: Primary_AMS/Main
- Auto Publish on CMS: auto/manual
- Ads: advertisements applied to stream
- Updated at: date and time of last asset update
For information on adding content to the video catalog, read our add video assets article.
