Creating a Channel Set (Deprecated)
Once a channel set is created, you can add channels.
Note: Channels and channel sets have been deprecated and are scheduled to be
disabled. For details and alternatives, see the OVP
Release Notes.
Note: For more information about Backlot REST API commands, see the
Backlot API Reference.
To create a channel set:
Use POST and /v2/assets with the
asset_type set to channelset in the request body.
The following example creates the "My Channel Set" channel set.
[POST]/v2/assets{ "name": "My Channel Set", "asset_type": "channel_set" }
Backlot returns a response similar to the following.
{ "asset_type": "channel_set", "duration": 0, "name": "My Channel Set", "preview_image_url": null, "created_at": "2011-08-10T18:20:03+00:00", "embed_code": "IwYTVxMjqLtYHmwqy", "time_restrictions": null, "updated_at": "2011-08-10T18:20:04+00:00", "external_id": null, "hosted_at": null, "original_file_name": null, "description": null, "status": "live" }
The channel set is successfully created.
