Author Topic: Doremi DCP2000 Ingest from FTP Simon Christensen Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Hornslet, Aarhus, Denmark Registered: Jun 2012 posted 11-16-2012 09:06 AM                     Hi I have 2 Doremi DCP2000 screens. All good, and they play fine. The filmdistributors have changed how they deliver trailers. Before they send an USB drive with trailers but now I have to download the trailers myself from their FTP sites. Thats OK, but it annoys me that I have to download the trailers, copy them to an USB drive and then Ingest them to the Doremi DCP2000. It would be a lot easier if I could FTP to the DCP2000 and put the trailers there, OR make an FTP server and make the DCP2000 Ingest the trailers from my FTP server. Is it possible, and how do I set it up on the Doremi DCP2000? The FTP server and network is NOT a problem, and I know how to set that up. Thanks in advance /Simon Christensen  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-16-2012 10:11 AM                        Is this a Europe specific thing? I'd like to be able to download my trailers from an FTP site....  |  IP: Logged Olivier Lemaire Expert Film Handler Posts: 118 From: Paris, Ile de France, France Registered: Jan 2010 posted 11-16-2012 11:29 AM                        Menu / Control Panel / Content Feed Manager -> authenticate as admin Then add a new target with: - name: the one you want - protocol: FTP - IP address: the one of your FTP server - user and password: the ones to be used for your FTP server - path: the one needed as a base to grab your DCP The test, save and let's ingest - use Ingest Manager, Luke You can have a look on options to select/restrict which kind of content can - or can not - be ingested from this target, if needed to fine tune.  |  IP: Logged Simon Christensen Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Hornslet, Aarhus, Denmark Registered: Jun 2012 posted 11-16-2012 12:56 PM                     OMG, that was easy. :-) I got a fully working setup now. Thanks a lot, you really helped me. /Simon . @Dennis I don't know if this is an Europe specific thing. But we have been able to download trailers via FTP for some time now in Denmark. Some of the filmdistributors don't distribute USB keys with trailers anymore. So FTP download is now the ONLY way to get trailers. /Simon Christensen  |  IP: Logged Olivier Lemaire Expert Film Handler Posts: 118 From: Paris, Ile de France, France Registered: Jan 2010 posted 11-16-2012 01:12 PM                        Simon: you're welcome Dennis: no, nothing (on that topic) is generic in Europe = YMMV at each street corner...  |  IP: Logged Ted Vetzal Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Oshawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Mar 2006 posted 03-03-2013 07:02 PM                     You can also FTP content into a Doremi. This way you can put content into a screen from a computer. I used to do this to transfer test content from my laptop. The User Name and password are both ingest. The other thing that you can do with the content manager, is setup so you can ingest from one Doremi to another. Just use the user name of manager and password for the password. I had a complex with nine DCP2000s and three Dolby units and they used this to move content from screen to screen, while they ingested new content from the Library server.  |  IP: Logged Andrew Maddison Film Handler Posts: 13 From: Coventry, West Midlands, UK Registered: Sep 2007 posted 03-04-2013 06:01 PM                     They've had the trailer download facility for the UK for a while, too. It's useful because we run movies months after they're out in commercial cinemas, and all trailers we've ever been "sent" are always available from the download site. The annoying thing now is they say "here is the download link; for those who can't download we've sent a DVD with the trailer on it as well" - we'd like to be able to tell them to stop sending us DVDs and/or USB sticks!  |  IP: Logged
