Introduction: Welcome to the OTTfeed platform! This guide will show you how to manage your video content for your video channels (Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Web App) and use Bunny.net Stream to transcode and host your video files. Let’s get started
Note: if you use Vimeo for video storage, refer to our OTTfeed Quickstart Guide (OTTfeed + Vimeo). For storage options other than Vimeo or BunnyCDN, follow the steps in our OTTfeed Quickstart Without Vimeo or BunnyCDN Account.
- Upload Your Video Files to Bunny.net Stream:
Follow the steps in our guide on How to Upload Your Videos to BunnyCDN.
Once your video files are uploaded, processed, and have the correct thumbnail, move to the next step.
- Log into Your OTTfeed Account:
Visit https://my.ottfeed.com and log in to your OTTfeed account.
- Add New Video Content:
Click the “Add new content” button to initiate the content creation process.
- Select Video Type:
Choose your video type (e.g., short-form video). If you’re unsure about different video types, you can read more here.
- List Videos On Your Bunny:
Click the “CDN” button to open a window containing a list of all your videos hosted on your Bunny.net Stream.
If the ‘CDN’ button is not visible, follow the steps in our guide Connect Bunny.net Stream to OTTfeed Platform.
- Import Video and Thumbnail URLs:
To find a specific video, scroll down or filter the list by entering a keyword in the search box. Once you locate your video click on the video to import the video and thumbnail URLs.
- Enter Metadata and Publish:
Complete the remaining metadata fields (title, description, tags, etc.) and mark the video as “Published.” Note: OTTfeed does not host files; ensure all URLs are accessible externally.
- Manage Categories:
Once your content is ready, go to “Manage categories.”
Create categories using titles or tags. For detailed instructions, refer to our Create Categories post.
- Publish Feed:
Return to the homepage and click “Publish Feed.” This action generates a static JSON file containing all your published content metadata, enabling your application (e.g., Roku) to access it.
