Publishing channels

Media Pocket supports setup of different share destinations / protocols:

• Aspera: ASCP file transfer
• AWS S3: Cloud Storage
• Azure Blob: Cloud Storage
• CDN: Publish and deliver media via Bunny.net CDN (more info at the bottom of the article)
• Stream: Video stream creation via Bunny.net Stream (more info at the bottom of the article)
• FTP: File Transfer Protocol 
• SCP: Secure copy protocol

To share an asset to any destination you must first create and configure it as a publishing channel. The environment can have several publishing channels per type, such as different Aspera destinations. Prerequisites: credentials for the desired service.

Create a publishing channel

Only Admin users can create, edit or delete publishing channels. Admins can find the Publishing channel tool from the More section in Quick Menu on the left hand side. All environment's publishing channels are listed in the opening window.

You can create a new channel by clicking "+ Create".

Each channel type requires a different configuration, simply follow the instructions by pressing the "?" icon

By default, the channels are public to all users. If needed, the channel can be set to be private and shared with one or more users or user groups.

Share to Publishing Channel

Once the publishing channel is set, you may share assets in it by clicking "share" on top of the asset...

or with the bulk edit tool

Next, choose the share destination and click share. You will be notified when sharing is done.

Note: Guest users are not allowed to share assets to publishing channels.

Bunny.net 

Media Pocket offers an easy integration setup to Bunny.net CDN and Stream features.

To create a Bunny.net publishing channel (CDN and Stream) you need a Bunny.net account (https://bunny.net/) and in the CDN configuration an additional public S3 bucket. Contact [e-mail] if you are interested in learning more or need assistance configuring the feature.

CDN:

Bunny.net provides a CDN (Content Delivery Network) for media delivery, allowing media to be delivered across the web via a URL.

In Media Pocket, it is possible to configure Bunny.net CDN as a publishing channel for easy sharing to the CDN.

If an asset has an active CDN URL when media is removed, it is possible to re-share (re-activate) the URL by clicking the re-share button. Remember, that you don't need to wait for other versions of the asset to be created. If, for example, you have shared the original version, you don't need to wait for the preview images to be created.

Stream:

Stream is a feature provided by Bunny.net, a global content delivery platform, designed for video streaming. It simplifies the process of hosting, delivering, and playing videos online.

In Media Pocket it's possible to get a Bunny.net video stream link, for videos uploaded to Media Pocket, which can then be shared anywhere.
