Overview
The Media Sync plugin for Haivision provides a one-way sync
from your Haivision media account into your Rock instance. When you upload a
video into Haivision, it will be automatically created in Rock.
Note
The Haivision Media Sync plugin only synchronizes
video files. If you have non-video
content in your Haivision account, it will not by synchronized to Rock.
This plugin will synchronize your Haivision media into media
folders in Rock based on the category of the video. Media in Haivision which is not categorized
will be placed into a single folder named “Library”.
Note
Media elements can only exist in one place in Rock,
so if a video has been assigned to multiple categories in Haivision, only the
first category will be used in Rock.
