Introduction

Configuration files are all in user's directory under ~/.openveo/publish

• ~/.openveo/publish/publishConf.json
• ~/.openveo/publish/videoPlatformConf.json
• ~/.openveo/publish/watcherConf.json

Nb : You must restart OpenVeo servers after modifications.

Configure the plugin

Open ~/.openveo/publish/publishConf.json

{
  "videoTmpDir" : "/tmp/videos", // Temporary directory to stock uploading videos (video is removed after the upload)
  "maxConcurrentPublish" : 3, // Maximum number of videos to upload simultaneously
  "metadataFileName" : ".session" // Name of the video metadata file in a tar package
}

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
  },
  "local": {
    "vodFilePath": "/path/to/host/folder/",// path where the video will be uploaded on the local machine
    "streamPath": "stream/path/" //stream path exposed by local server relative to Openveo CDN to access the video
  }
}

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 on your system.
To upload videos on Local Openveo Server, you need to set this configuration:

{
  "local": {
    "vodFilePath": "/path/to/publish/assets/player/videos/local",// path where the video will be uploaded on the local machine
    "streamPath": "publish/player/videos/local" // stream path exposed by local server to access video
  }
}

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 local, 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 local, 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 local, vimeo, wowza or youtube is supported)
      "path" : "/user/box/hot4" // Path to the hot folder
    },
    {
      "type" : "local", // Video platform to upload to for this hot folder (only local, vimeo, wowza or youtube is supported)
      "path" : "/user/box/hot5" // Path to the hot folder
    },
    {
      // No video platform specified: let user choose on which platform the video will be uploaded
      "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 a platform. Videos can be uploaded to a platform from the catalogue of videos in the back end.
