Using the XML Template

There are three named templates in the
Remote FTP files. Use the appropriate template to manually create an .xml file for each video
file. Use Notepad, TextPad, or a similar tool and then FTP this file (and the video in Direct
mode) to the
AutoIngestXML
video file first or the ingestion will fail.) The filename can be any alphanumeric string with an
.xml extension. The following code shows a sample .xml file that uses the Direct mode
template. The template for each mode is the same except for the SourceFileName and
SourceFileType tags. Table 16 explains the required format for these tags.
