}

Configure video platform credentials

Open ~/.openveo/publish/videoPlatformConf.json

{
  "vimeo" : { // Vimeo platform configuration
    "clientId" : "vimeo client id (available on vimeo application page https://developer.vimeo.com/apps)",
    "clientSecret" : "vimeo client secret (available on vimeo application page https://developer.vimeo.com/apps)",
    "accessToken" : "vimeo access token (available on vimeo application page https://developer.vimeo.com/apps)"
  },
  "youtube": {
    "uploadMethod": "uploadResumable", // (uploadResumable or uploadClassic; default: uploadResumable)
    "googleOAuth": {
       "clientId": "Youtube API client Id (available in your Google Developper Console )",
       "clientSecret":  "Youtube API client secret (available in your Google Developper Console )",
       "redirectUrl": "http://SERVER_HOST_NAME:SERVER_PORT/be/publish/configuration/googleOAuthAssosiation"
     },
     "privacy": "public" // (public, private or unlisted; default: public)
  },
  "wowza":{
    "protocol": "sftp", // (ftp, sftp, ftps)
    "host": "HOST", //server host where the video will be uploaded
    "port": "PORT", //server host port
    "user": "USERNAME", // server username
    "pwd": "PASSWORD", // server password 
    "vodFilePath": "/files/", // path where the video will be uploaded
    "streamPath": "https://HOST/APP_NAME" // stream path exposed by wowza to access video, HOST and APP_NAME are defined in wowza
  }
}

To upload videos on Vimeo, publish requires oauth credentials.

To upload videos on Youtube, publish requires googleOAuth credentials.

To upload videos on Wowza, you need to install lfpt package on your system

• LFTP Homepage

• LFTP on Windows

On Ubuntu, you can install lftp package by executing the command:

sudo apt-get install lftp

Configure the logger

Open ~/.openveo/publish/loggerConf.json

{
  "watcher": { // Watcher logger
    "fileName" : "/var/log/openveo-watcher.log", // Path to log file
    "level" : "info", // Log level
    "maxFileSize" : 1048576, // Maximum log file size (in Bytes)
    "maxFiles" : 2 // Maximum number of files archived
  }
}

Configure the watcher

Open ~/.openveo/publish/watcherConf.json

{
  "hotFolders" : [ // List of folders to watch
    {
      "type" : "vimeo", // Video platform to upload to for this hot folder (only vimeo, wowza or youtube is supported)
      "path" : "/user/box/hot2" // Path to the hot folder
    },
    {
      "type" : "youtube", // Video platform to upload to for this hot folder (only vimeo, wowza or youtube is supported)
      "path" : "/user/box/hot3" // Path to the hot folder
    },
    {
      "type" : "wowza", // Video platform to upload to for this hot folder (only vimeo, wowza or youtube is supported)
      "path" : "/user/box/hot4" // Path to the hot folder
    },
    { 
      // No video platform specified : let user choose on which platform the video will be uplaoded
      "path" : "/user/box/hot1" // Path to the hot folder
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Nb : If type is missing for a hot folder, videos won't be automatically uploaded to the platform. Videos can be uploaded to the platform from the catalogue of videos in the back end.
