Read more →Set metadata when creating images
Jun 16th, 2021Speaking with our customers, we identified areas for improvement in the image upload process. We wanted to make it more efficient when managing images and associated metadata, so we decided to allow you to do both of those things when uploading images. Let's take a look!

Read more →Support costed runs and reruns in VOD rules, catch-up rights, and catch-up deals
Jul 10th, 2019Mediagenix On-Demand's clients often integrate Mediagenix On-Demand with a linear scheduling system and it's common for those systems to support the concepts of costed runs and reruns

Read more →Add ability to target day parts in VOD rules
Feb 19th, 2019Our customers ❤️ their linear scheduling colleagues, but sometimes linear schedules can get fairly busy, and it is common for content to be repeated in slower parts of the day. Great for filling out a schedule, but not great for our automated schedule generation via VOD rules
Read more →Tag management
Jan 30th, 2019We know our customers love tagging things in Mediagenix On-Demand - features, series, episodes - you name it. Up until now, users couldn't easily manage their tags.

Dec 14th, 2018For some reason, human beings are not very good at time zone math. We live in an interconnected world, and it's becoming frequent to have clients working across different time zones.

Read more →Relative start/end dates in VOD rules with fixed times
