It is possible to combine content from multiple “shared” playlists from different programs in Omny Studio into an “aggregate” playlist. An example use of this feature would be to combine all of the RSS feeds from one particular radio station into a “best of station” aggregate RSS feed or playlist widget.
You can also add rules so that only clips with specific tags or titles are ingested by the “aggregate” playlist. Once set up correctly, users could use a specific tag on a clip and the clip would automatically be ingested by the “aggregate” playlist.
Create a new playlist or select the playlist you would like to turn into an aggregate playlist.
Click “Configure auto-add” in the “Clips” section.
Options explained
If you want all clips from your shared playlists to be ingested by the aggregated playlist select “add all clips”.
If you’d like to set up rules so that only clips with a particular tag, title, description and/or published state then you can configure that by selecting “add clips that match rules”.
To start pulling content from the available shared playlists select the tick box for “add clips from other programs”
If you don’t want to include clips from the program that the aggregate playlist is housed in, select the tick box “Exclude this program’s clips that match the rules”
If you’d only like to include selected playlists select the tick box “only selected playlists” and select which playlists from the menu.
Finally, to pull from the existing clips in all of the selected shared playlists available, click “add existing clips that match the rules”
3.Click Save changes. If you have set rules that will apply to existing clips and the rules are set up correctly, your applicable clips will appear. If you need help setting this up, please contact support@omnystudio.com
