Configuring Brightcove for integrated search

You can perform integrated searches for videos in your Brightcove Video Cloud account. If you have multiple Brightcove accounts and Brightspot sites, you can restrict an individual Brightspot site’s integrated search to a specific Brightspot account.

To configure integrated search for videos in Brightcove:

1. For each Brightcove account you want to configure for integrated search, obtain the account’s ID, player ID, client ID, and client secret.
2. Click menu > Admin > Sites & Settings > Sites > Global. The Edit Global widget appears.
3. Under Integrations, expand Brightcove.
4. In the Global Import Frequency field, enter the number of minutes after which Brightspot imports videos added to Brightcove. The default is one minute.
5. Click Save.

6. To restrict a Brightspot site’s integrated search to an individual Brightcove account, do the following (otherwise skip to step 8):

   1. In the Sites widget, select the site for which you want to configure integrated search.
   2. Under Main, expand Brightcove.
7. Under Settings, click Create New. A content edit form appears for entering the Brightcove settings.
8. In the Internal Name field, enter a name for this setting. Brightspot uses this name in widgets such as the content picker.
9. Under Credentials, enter the credentials from step 1.

10. Expand Import, and make the following settings:

    • Task Host Name: The IP or domain name of the Brightspot host to import video from Brightcove.
    • Ingestion Run Record: Read-only field recording the times when the importer last checked for new videos in Brightcove, and when the importer last ingested a video into Brightspot.
    • Import Enabled: If enabled, Brightspot imports videos from your Brightcove account that were not previously imported from Brightcove. If importing Brightcove videos for the first time, turn this field on.
    • Full Import Enabled: If enabled, imports all videos to Brightspot that reside on Brightcove, including videos that were previously imported into Brightspot. This field is ignored if the Import Enabled field is turned off.
    • Import User: If set, Brightspot records the user who initiates the import from Brightcove.
11. Under Miscellaneous, set Debug Enabled if you want to log the full activity between Brightspot and Brightcove.
12. Under Export, set Export Allowed if you want to export metadata set in Brightspot to videos in your Brightcove account.
13. Click Save, then click Back. You return to the content picker with your Brightcove account ID listed.
14. Select the Brightcove settings, and close the content picker. You return to the Edit Global or Edit Site widget.
15. Click Save.
