Create mediaID automatically
i have hundred of videos on my server. Therefore i cant use the dashboard to create a single media ID for each video. Is there a way to create a media ID automatically without uploading my videos ? Thx!

Yes, you can create media IDs using Python or PHP with our JW Platform API. Please see the How to Apply Media IDs section of http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/2083166-using-media-ids
The /videos/create method supports externally-hosted URLs
Be sure to define sourcetype as ‘url’ and to also include your sourceurl
