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.
