For more detail on playlist auto-add rules, and how they can be used to automatically ad clips to a chosen playlist , please see this article.
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.
This help doc explores creating an aggregated playlist and setting rules for automatically adding clips to a playlist.
Enabling sharing on a playlist
Navigate to the playlist that you would like to be able to share clips from.
Click the “Details” tab of that playlist.
Scroll down to “Advanced settings” and click the box under "Share with other programs".
This will make this playlist accessible to every program in your organisation.
Repeat this step for every playlist that you would like to be able to share from.
Create an aggregate playlist
An “aggregate” playlist can ingest the clips of a “shared” playlist and you can set specific rules relating to the title, tag, description and/or published state as an additional filter.
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
Configure auto adding of clips.
To share an episode from Program A to Program B, first ensure Program B has sharing enabled, as shown above.
Then, go to the destination playlist you want to share a clip to, and click on ‘Configure auto-add’.
You can then set up an appropriate rule. To share a clip, it must be in a playlist. If you don't want it visible in the source program yet, create a private playlist in the source program, add the clip to it, and set it as the source for auto-add rule.
Measuring analytics of cross-program shared clip
A shared clip remains only in the program where it was uploaded.
Clip-level download analytics show downloads from all programs and playlists where the shared clip is available.
The program-level analytics of a program a clip has been shared with will include downloads of the shared clip from any playlist in that program.
Program-level analytics will include downloads of the shared clip from any playlist in that program.
