Series Metadata

Series Information

Individual videos may now be related to Series metadata on content ingestion, as well as updated in the Video Details page. Series metadata is considered optional, and is not required for ingestion.

Series metadata can be used during scheduling so that the programmer would be able to search their content library with ease, and may be used to populate EPG metadata.

For bulk update of your series metadata, please contact your account manager.
