Using Pipeline Control
Forming Paths to Files on the Same Macintosh.
as Episode Engine, do not use the %HOST% or the %FILEPATH% token – enter the path manually,
followed by /%FILENAME%.cd
Example: %FILEPATH%/%FILENAME%
Forming URIs to Files on Other Mac OS X and Windows Servers.
OS X or Windows platform that is separate from the computer where the target Episode Engine is running,
you must mount the target share on the Episode Engine computer. In Finder, select Go To Server and
open the target share in the Finder.
Because the share name may be different in Finder from the actual share name, open Terminal (in
Utilities), and drag the share from the Finder window onto the Terminal window, to resolve it.
For example, your target file is on the server Venus, in a share called CaptureMedia. When mounted in
Finder, the share icon is named CaptureMedia. Drag this icon into the Terminal window, and it displays as
/Volumes/CaptureMedia.
Don't use the %HOST% token or the %FILEPATH% token – it provides the fully-qualified path to the file.
Be sure to add the / before the %FILENAME% token: /%FILENAME.
Example: /Volumes/CaptureMedia/%FILENAME%
The best way to validate the correct URI is to browse to the source file's location directly on the Episode
Engine computer, and compare it to the entry you've entered in the File Location text field.
To make remote files accessible to Episode Engine, follow these guidelines:
•
File Sharing must be enabled.
•
The folder where the source files are located must be added as a Share.
•
Users must include an entry for Everyone (or a specific user, if known), with Read Only access.
•
The target share must be mounted on the target Episode Engine computer.

Select the setting that you want to process the file with, from the list.
