MediaRSS Exporter
The MediaRSS Exporter module allows you to create MediaRSS feeds from your content. These feeds can be used to provide selected media files to external systems, platforms, websites, apps, or syndication workflows.
A MediaRSS export can be created manually by adding selected files, or automatically by defining rules that determine which files should be included in the feed.
From the MediaRSS Exporter module, users can:
View existing MediaRSS exports
Create new MediaRSS exports
Add files manually to a feed
Generate automatic MediaRSS feeds based on rules
Select source projects
Filter automatic feeds by metadata
Define the number and maximum age of feed elements
Share or use the generated MediaRSS feed
The MediaRSS Exporter module is available from the main navigation under Modules.
MediaRSS Exporter Overview
The MediaRSS Exporter overview displays all configured MediaRSS exports in a table.
Each row represents one MediaRSS export and includes the most relevant information:
Export ID
Title
Assigned projects
Creation date
Available actions
At the top of the page, users can switch between different views:
All MediaRSS Exporters Shows all configured MediaRSS exports.
Only with Automatic Content Shows only MediaRSS exports that are generated automatically based on rules.
Last Edited Shows or sorts exports by their latest changes.
A search field is available to quickly find existing MediaRSS exports.
Manual and Automatic MediaRSS Exports
A MediaRSS export can be managed in two different ways.
Manual MediaRSS Export
A manual MediaRSS export is created by adding selected files directly to the feed.
This gives editors full control over which files are included.
Manual feeds are useful when the exported content should be curated individually, for example for a specific partner, campaign, or publication workflow.
Automatic MediaRSS Export
An automatic MediaRSS export is generated by the system based on defined rules.
Instead of adding files manually, users configure filters and limits. The system then compiles suitable files from the selected projects and updates the feed automatically.
Automatic feeds are useful for recurring or dynamic workflows, such as latest videos, category-based feeds, partner feeds, or automated content syndication.
Creating a MediaRSS Export
To create a new MediaRSS export:
Open Modules in the main navigation.
Select MediaRSS Exporter.
Click Add MediaRSS Export.
The properties panel opens.
Enter a Title.
Optionally add a Description.
Optionally enter an Author.
Decide whether the export should be automatic.
For automatic exports, configure the rules in the Configuration tab.
Save the MediaRSS export.
After saving, the export appears in the overview.
Basic Settings
Title
The Title is the name of the MediaRSS export.
Choose a clear and descriptive title, especially when multiple feeds are used for different projects, partners, or workflows.
Example titles:
Automatic Feed
Public Videos Feed
Partner Export
Latest News Videos
Product Video Feed
Testfeed
Description
The Description field can be used to add internal notes or information about the purpose of the export.
This field is optional.
Useful information can include:
Intended target system
Partner or customer reference
Content rules
Editorial notes
Internal workflow information
Author
The Author field can be used to define the author information for the MediaRSS export.
This field is optional and can be used when the receiving system expects author metadata in the feed.
Automatic MediaRSS Export
The Automatic MediaRSS Export option defines whether the feed is managed manually or generated automatically.
When this option is enabled, the system creates the feed based on the rules defined in the Configuration tab.
When this option is disabled, users can add files manually to the MediaRSS export.
Managing Manual Feed Elements
For manual MediaRSS exports, users can manage the feed content in the Edit Elements area.
The element view shows:
Number of elements
Total duration
Existing files in the feed
Thumbnail
Source project
Title
Duration
To add files manually:
Open the MediaRSS export.
Open Edit Elements.
Click Add Files.
Search for the files you want to include.
Add the selected files to the feed.
Files can be removed from the feed if they should no longer be included.
Manual element management is useful when the exact content of the feed should be controlled by an editor.
Automatic Feed Configuration
For automatic MediaRSS exports, the Configuration tab defines which files are included in the feed.
The system compiles suitable files from the specified projects according to the configured rules.
Available configuration options include:
Projects
Content type
Categories
Types
People
Aspect ratio
Number of elements
Maximum age of content
The available filters may depend on the account configuration, metadata setup, and selected projects.
Projects
The Projects field defines which projects are used as the source for the automatic MediaRSS feed.
Only files from the selected projects are considered for the feed.
This is useful when a feed should only include content from a specific content pool, department, customer, or editorial workflow.
Example use cases:
Export only files from a news project
Create a feed for a specific customer project
Provide only public videos to an external platform
Build a feed from a dedicated content pool
Content Type
The Type setting defines which kind of media content should be included.
Available options include:
Video
Audio
Mixed
Select the type that matches the target system or intended feed purpose.
For example, use Video for video syndication feeds, Audio for audio-only workflows, and Mixed when both media types are allowed.
Metadata Filters
Automatic MediaRSS exports can be filtered by metadata.
Available filters may include:
Categories
Types
People
Aspect Ratio
These filters help control which files are included in the feed.
For example, an automatic feed can be configured to include only videos from a selected project that belong to a specific category or type.
This is useful for structured syndication workflows where external systems should only receive content matching certain editorial or technical criteria.
Aspect Ratio
The Aspect Ratio filter can be used to include only files with a specific video format.
This is useful when a target platform requires a certain format or when feeds are created for specific frontend layouts.
Example use cases:
Landscape videos for standard video portals
Portrait videos for vertical video experiences
Format-specific exports for partner platforms
Number of Elements
The Number of Elements setting defines how many files should be included in the automatic feed.
This allows users to limit the feed size.
Example configurations:
Latest 10 videos
Latest 50 clips
Latest 100 files
Limiting the number of elements helps keep the feed focused and easier to process by external systems.
Maximum Age of Content
The Maximum Age of Content setting defines how old files may be to appear in the automatic feed.
For example, if the maximum age is set to 100 days, only matching files created or updated within that period are considered for the feed.
This is useful for feeds that should only contain recent or currently relevant content.
Sharing and Using the Feed
MediaRSS exports can be shared or connected to external systems.
Depending on the configuration, users can use the generated MediaRSS feed for:
External websites
Apps
Content portals
Partner platforms
Syndication workflows
Automated import workflows
CMS or MAM integrations
The receiving system can use the MediaRSS feed to retrieve media information and process the exported content.
Typical Use Cases
MediaRSS Exporter can be used for different workflows, for example:
Providing a curated feed to a partner platform
Creating an automatic latest-videos feed
Exporting selected files to an external system
Building a category-based syndication feed
Supplying video metadata to a website or app
Creating project-specific content feeds
Exporting only recent content from a selected content pool
Automating content delivery to downstream systems
Notes
The MediaRSS Exporter module can be booked in Module Management.
The available filters and configuration options may depend on the account configuration, project setup, metadata fields, and user permissions.
For automatic exports, review the selected projects, filters, number of elements, and maximum content age carefully to make sure the feed contains the expected files.
Before connecting a MediaRSS feed to a production system, it is recommended to test the feed with representative content.
