This guide concerns sending new media to a VOD/AOD space. Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about replacing already imported media.

Add and encode a new media

To send your media to be encoded in your VOD space and then stream it:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.

Then several possibilities are available to you…

1. … Directly on the homepage (dashboard of the VOD/AOD space):
   
2. .. From the media page:
   1. Click on Media in the left sidebar.
   2. Click on Media Management in the left sidebar:
      

From this page, several options are available to you…

1. Click the blue Import media button.
2. Select one of the sending methods:
   
   1. Import from device (max limit per sent file = 50 Go)
      This allows you to choose a media file from the device's hard drive (or from a removable media) and upload it:
      
   2. Import by FTP (no max size limit but you need to have sufficient disk space on the VOD/AOD space)
      Activate the TLS mode connection in your FTP software/client; FTP user management as well as parameters are customizable and indicated on the page:
      
      If you use a video editing software that allows FTP publishing (Adobe Premiere p.ex), you can export the media so that it is automatically imported into the VOD space; in this case, the encoding of a video will start automatically after its importation on the FTP; otherwise use your preferred FTP software/client (Filezilla p.ex).
       
   3. From a different site (max limit per sent file = 40 Go)
      This allows you to specify the URL of a media already present somewhere on the Internet including in a private space protected by password:
      

Another way to import media is to do it using the Infomaniak API (max limit per file sent = 40 Go); the documentation can be found in your left sidebar under API:
