Publish XML File Output

Camtasia Relay provides Administrators with the option to generate XML files for published presentations. The XML data contains information about the presentation such as the title, length, format, resolution, and more.

Customers may use the XML file with existing media-hosting solutions, content delivery methods such as RSS feeders, etc. TechSmith provides the XML data as a service, but does not support how the institution uses the XML file.

XML data is available for all encode types and all supported publish destinations with the following exceptions:

•      XML is not included with presentations published to iTunes U.

•      XML data is parsed into fields (as opposed to a single XML file) for presentations published to Screencast.com. The metadata can be found under the Details section when viewing a presentation on Screencast.com.

The XML file contains the following information:

•      Presentation information: title, description, date, duration, and resolution

•      Profile used to create presentation

•      Presenter name

•      Client (computer used to make the recording) IP address, and computer name

•      Server name where recording was processed

•      Encoding preset used

•      Length of time the presentation was in the queue for processing

•      Length of time it took to encode the presentation

•      Destination URL of published presentation
