Synchronize DME Content
Account Admins have the ability to initiate a content sync to a DME so that users may begin obtaining content from that DME. This is useful if the DME is added later to the video ecosystem so that it may obtain all current content in Rev.
To synchronize content to a DME:1. Navigate to Admin > Devices > DME Management > DME Name.
2. Click the Sync Now button. This button will only be visible if the DME is in Active status and the VOD Playback Device checkbox is checked.
Upon sync initialization, the following occurs:
●The DME begins downloading all active videos in Rev in batches of ten.
●The oldest content will be downloaded first (ascending by upload date/time)
●During the sync, playback URLs will be updated based on the following:
a. If playback URLs already exist for the given DME and video, playback URLs will be overwritten.
b. If playback URLs do not exist for the given DME and video, playback URLs will be added.
Keep in mind:
●If your DMEs support the MESH caching feature, the DME will attempt to get the videos from a meshed DME first before it attempts to retrieve files from Rev. See the “Mesh with Rev Caching Configuration” online help topic in DME help.
●The DME will only download files that it does not have.
●The DME will always send back playback URLs, even if it already has the content, to indicate to Rev that the video has been synced.
●The content sync may be canceled at any time by clicking the Cancel button. All videos that have been sent to the DME for download will continue. All videos that have not yet been sent to the DME (queued) will be canceled.
●You may also sync the device from the Actions dropdown on the All Devices page.
