This is a tutorial on '''uploading podcasts''' to the URYPlayer system.
This is a tutorial on '''uploading podcasts''' to the URYPlayer system.
== Temporary method using the website admin ==
== 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 onto SiteAdmin ===
# Go to [https://ury.york.ac.uk/admin https://ury.york.ac.uk/admin] ('''not''' HTTP, '''not''' ury.org.uk) and, if prompted, select "Use your URY credentials".<br>''The requirement to use https://ury.york.ac.uk specifically is an unintentional issue and will hopefully be fixed later.''

# 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.
=== The easy bits ===
# 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!''
# Select someone as the podcast '''Creator'''.
# '''Approver''' is currently unused, so you can leave it blank if you want.
# Upload your audio into the '''File''' box.
=== Branding packages ===
# To save on some time, if your podcast is a regular one like Newshour or Speech Team, click on '''Add another Branding Package''' and check the '''Package''' drop-down box to see if your podcast falls under any of the categories. This will automatically assign images and a default title and description to your podcast.
# You can apply as many branding packages as you want, but some packages take precedence over others.
=== Adding a title and description ===
# To assign a title to your podcast, click '''Add another Associated Text Item''' and set the '''Key''' in the box that appears to "title" and the '''Value''' to your title.<br>''Don't worry about the other stuff to the right, unless you want to cancel some metadata or attribute it to someone else.''
# Do the same thing for a podcast description, but with '''Key''' as "description".
# 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.''.
=== Custom images ===
''You can skip this bit if you don't want a unique image. You'll either get the grey Podcast image or, if you chose a branding package above, whatever that package specifies as the image.''
# To assign your own image to the podcast, click '''Add another Associated Image''', 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.''.
# Then do the same for "thumbnail_image" - the former goes onto the player console and the latter goes into the podcast list.
# 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!
# Now press '''Save''' and your podcast should upload. Phew!
=== If things go wrong ===
# If the uploader shouts at you and turns red in places, you probably filled a bit of the form out wrong. Check over for any mistakes and remember that all uploaded files will be blanked and you'll have to select them again.
# If bits of the interface are missing, you might not have enough privileges. Ask Computing Team to give you some.
# If in doubt, email Computing.
