How to Bulk Upload Media Files to the Asset Library

Introduction

The Bulk Upload feature in Muvi TV efficiently uploads large volumes of media files directly to the Asset Library using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). This feature offers flexibility, allowing you to simultaneously upload files in a way that suits your needs—whether you’re uploading specific file types (e.g., only videos, audio, or images) or a mix of different file types.

How to Bulk Upload

To bulk upload, navigate to “Content Management” -->” Asset Library” in the CMS.
In the "Asset Library", click on the “Bulk Upload” tab.
Enable “Bulk Upload”.
You can view the “FTP” account details to bulk upload.
Log in to the FTP account using the FTP account details provided in the CMS. You can install FileZilla and then log in to it using the FTP details provided.
After connecting to this FTP account, you can upload your video files/audio files/image files.
Then, you need to click on “Sync to Library”.
When asked for the confirmation, click on “Proceed”.
Then all your video files/audio files/image files will be automatically uploaded to the "Asset Library".
Through this method, you can connect to this account from multiple computers at the same time and upload your assets.

Note:

For Video, Audio, and Image file upload, you can use the same FTP account.
You can upload as many videos as you want. There is no limit to the number of videos.
Please upload only the video/audio/image files to the FTP server; do not upload sub-folders into the FTP; all files should be in the root directory of the FTP.
After uploading, you need to make sure that the file has been uploaded successfully and cross-check the video/audio/image file size after uploading the same content in the FileZilla.
If the file gets corrupted during the upload, retry uploading the file without deleting the corrupted uploaded file. Then it will ask for the option to resume.
Do not upload any other video file format except mov, flv, vob, mp4, m4v, mkv, avi, 3gp & mpg to FTP.
Filename must be alphanumeric (in the English Language only) and it shouldn't contain any space or special characters (i.e. !, @, $, &, *, except "_" and "-") (For Example, the file name should be like spiderman_HD-1084.mp4)
if filename spiderman HD 1080p.mp4 then rename it to spiderman_HD_1080p.mp4. In place of white space, use underscore _ or hifen -
Please play the video/audio on the browser before uploading it to FTP.
We recommend you maximize the uploading limit to up to 10 video/audio/image files at one time.
Please wait 10-15 minutes for uploading the next bunch of files.
Once all files are successfully uploaded to the FTP server, go to "Content Management " --> "Asset Library" in your CMS and click on "Sync to Library" to start transferring the video/audio/image files to your Asset Library.
Once the files (video/audio/image) are synced from the FTP server to the Asset Library, all the files in the FTP server will automatically be removed after a few hours
