The standard upload method for submitting a video using the form is really the fastest way to get it online on WordPress.tv. However maybe you have lots of files that are too big or that still need a basic intro added, so a bulk upload might be more appropriate. In that case our AWS S3 space could be the answer.
Option 1: Use the browser
Sign in
The sign in url is https://wordpresstv.signin.aws.amazon.com/console
– Account ID or alias : wordpresstv
– IAM user name : wordcamp-uploads
– Password: <ask in the wptv channel>
Click Sign In
Create your folder
Option 1: From the console, under ‘Storage’, click ‘S3’, click the ‘wordpresstv’ folder, then click ‘wordcamp-uploads’.
Option 2: replace the current url with https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/wordpresstv/wordcamp-uploads/?region=us-east-1&tab=overview
Create your folder like ‘2019-City’ and upload your files here.
Please don’t forget to add in that folder a (link to) a Meta data file as described below!
Option 2: Use an FTP client that can handle Amazon AWS
Known tools
You will need an FTP application that can connect to AWS S3 using (Secret) Access keys. Some known ones are Forklift, Filezilla or WinSCP, but other free ones exists.
Sign In
– File Protocol: Amazon S3
– Host name: s3.amazonaws.com
– Access Key ID and Secret Access Key: <ask in the wptv channel>
Create your folder
You only have access to the folder /wordpresstv/wordcamp-uploads
Create your folder like ‘2019-City’ and upload your files here.
Please don’t forget to add in that folder a (link to) a Meta data file as described below!
Meta data
Add also a file in that folder so the WPTV mods have all the details, including the twitter tag of the wordcamp and of the speakers.
A template can be found on https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F7jT_rNQGJbLFYRhIBHZK9GxjBa-xJUMFepckKhi2U0/edit#gid=0
Inform WPTV mods
When all files are uploaded, leave a message in the wptv channel on slack so WPTV mods can verify and upload the files to WPTV and YouTube.
