Add video content by clicking the tasks panel’s New video button. Fill in the basic information in the Basic tab. At the very least, complete the red-outlined fields of Name, Channel type and Parent channel.
The text in the name and the description fields will appear in the background information of the video. Choose which channel to locate the video. From the Video genre box, select the genre descriptor that best describes the video. This is very important if you want to use Ad Library functionality, since the genre descriptor determines which commercials will be associated with which videos.
In the Key words field add some keywords for the video. This allows easy search for users.
From the videos field you may browse your computer or network in order to locate and then add a video. The supported formats are avi, mpg, wmv, mov, 3gp and flv. The videos will be automatically converted into Flash video.

NOTE! If you’re adding a Flash-video, and your FLV video is already encoded to your desired size and quality you have the option of disabling the GoodMoodTV’s automatic transcoding to avoid degradation of video quality.
4.1 Video types
There are three video types; 1. Video (recorded clip), 2. External video and 3. Live (see chapter 8 Live). External video is a video that is not uploaded to GoodMoodTV but to an external server. When external video is selected from the drop down menu, a link address is required. Note that the external video should be in a format that GoodMoodTV video player can play (typically Flash video).
4.2 Email Upload
![]() You may upload videos by sending them to your account’s own email box. Videos sent to the box will be automatically added to the channel in question. Open the Internet TV station and the channel into which you wish to add the videos. Click the Email upload button.
Determine how the email or its sender will be verified. The alternatives are:
1. No authentication - All email to channel’s mailbox are accepted.
2. Password protected - Authentication is via a password which must be included in the email. Enter the password in the grey field which appears when you select this upload method.
3. Selected senders - Only selected senders can send content to the email box. Enter a list of senders’ email addresses in the grey box which appears and separate the sender addresses with commas.
The email must contain sender password identification (if selected), video details and the video file as an attachment. Video details contain video description, genre, keywords and so forth. The requirement for sender validation is determined according to the authentication method chosen.
Sender identification and video details (excluding video name) must be added to email’s body sector. The video’s name must be set as the message title. If the title is left empty, the video name will be “videoemail”. If the channel contains already a video with similar name, “(N)” will be added to the end of the name. The N represents the first free number, starting from 1.
The attached video file must be in one of our supported formats in order to complete transcoding. Sender identification and video details should to be sent in the following format:
pass=123245
desc= description
genre= News and Politics
keywords=key1, key2, key3
Information must always be presented in key-value pairs (e.g. “pass” and “12345”). Key-value pairs are not case sensitive; however the values will be saved exactly as written.
For the key-value pairs called“keywords”, multiple values should be separated with commas. If you need to use the characters “:” or “=”, they must be presented in the form of “\:” or “\=”. If the value is presented in more than in one row, the row must finish with the sign “\” as follows:
desc= In this video we are on holiday in Sweden with the \
family. During the vacation…
genre=Travel&Events
Each channel’s email box will appear at the bottom of the Email upload page.
4.3 Thumbnails
During transcoding a small thumbnail picture will be created automatically for each video. The thumbnail will appear in the Internet TV station in the video information box.
It is also possible to download any picture from your computer or network, and set it as a thumbnail picture. The picture must be a JPG file.
Alternatively, you can create a thumbnail directly from the video content. Use the arrow key to browse the video and to choose the picture. It is possible to determine the thumbnail’s width and from that the height will be automatically calculated.
4.4 Embedding the Video in an HTML page
Click the Embed button in the Tasks panel. Copy the text in the upper grey box into your Internet page’s HEAD part, the text in the middle box to your page’s BODY part, and the text in the lowest box before your page’s /BODY tag.
At the top of the page there is a direct link to the video. Whilst is not necessary to use the link to add the video to your Internet page, you can, for example, deploy it through e-mail. If you have a customised player, you can determine the player size by editing the player properties. Set the desired width and height.
4.5 Editing video details
If you wish to edit the details of the video click the Edit video button. You can edit the basic information on the video or the publishing time from the Publishing tab.
You may also update or replace the video file without changing the original link or other details related to the video. Select the new video from your computer in the lowest, Video bar.
4.6 Linking the video
Choose the video that you wish to link and click the Create Link button. Choose the channel to which you want to link the video. Please note that the channel type must be Selected in order to add links to it.
If needed, a new channel or sub-channel can be created using the window that opens up in the linking process. When creating a new channel return to link the video from the Create link button. Please note that if the original video is deleted the link also disappears.
