This is a tutorial on '''uploading podcasts''' to the URYPlayer system.

== Temporary method using the website admin ==

Currently there is no MyURY/Members Internal module for uploading podcasts, so the main way to upload them is the same way [[Computing]] do them. Don't worry - this process will get simpler and simpler as the website matures, and may be replaced with a more user-friendly manner later.

# Log into members internal (or any other URY service).<br>''This is a temporary step and eventually won't be needed.''
# Go to [https://ury.york.ac.uk/admin ury.york.ac.uk/admin]. If you did the first step correctly the system should recognise you.
# Go to '''uryplayer''' -> '''Podcasts''' -> '''Add'''.<br>''If you do not see this or are denied access, email Computing Team so they can give you podcasting permissions. In the future, this will be automatic.''
# Select someone as the podcast '''Creator''' (Approver is currently unused) and upload your audio into the '''File''' box.
# To assign a title to your podcast, click '''Add another Podcast Metadatum''' and set the '''Key''' in the box that appears to "title" and the '''Value''' to your title.<br>''Don't worry about anything else on the form!''
# Do the same thing for a podcast description, but with '''Key''' as "description".
# To assign your own image to the podcast, click '''Add another Podcast Image Metadatum''', set '''Key''' to "player_image" and the '''Value''' to your image file.<br>''Currently there is no way to use existing images, so you will have to download existing images and reupload them- this is inefficient, we know, but should be fixed before it becomes an issue.''.
# Then do the same for "thumbnail_image" - the former goes onto the player console and the latter goes into the podcast list.
# Now press '''Save''' and your podcast should upload. Phew!

You can email Computing Team to do this for you, but please be aware that this might take a while.
