Media RSS extends the RSS specification with some elements that are specific to media. These media-specific elements are identified through the media namespace. You can view the MRSS specification here. All of the elements listed in the specification will exist valid in your feed. If you have iTunes elements (identified through the itunes namespace) in your MRSS feed, these iTunes elements are as well valid.

This MRSS feed has just ii items in information technology, each identified through the item chemical element.

When y'all insert the URL to your MRSS feed into Amazon Creator, it reads the feed'due south aqueduct and item (the first item chemical element in the feed) and attempts to map these elements to elements in the Amazon Creator app. In some cases (for example, with media:credit role="author"), you may need to select from a drop-downward menu to place how the elements should be mapped.

The media asset (for example, MP4, M4V, or MP3 file) volition automatically be selected.

Non all of the elements in an MRSS feed are actually used in the web app. Just the elements matched when Amazon Creator validates your feed are used. Additionally, your app will brandish only the latest 50 items per category.

Where to Host Your Videos

If you trying to notice a host for your videos, consider using the YouTube source option because YouTube hosts video content for costless. If that pick doesn't work for you, consider using AWS and Cloudfront. Y'all can upload your videos into an AWS S3 bucket (S3 offers a simple storage service), so pull the videos into a CDN (content delivery network) through Cloudfront. For details, see Deliver Content Faster with Amazon Cloudfront — if you're following this Cloudfront tutorial, in step three in the tutorial, select the "spider web distribution" rather than RMTP.)

Setting Categories for Items

In your MRSS feed, the category set for each item influences the category navigation bar in the Amazon Creator app. The following prototype shows the category navigation bar with its options expanded:

For example, the category tags in your MRSS feed might be as follows:

                          <media:category>Trail</media:category>                      

Amazon Creator reads these categories and populates the category navigation bar in the app accordingly.

Thumbnail Prototype Sizes

The media:thumbnail chemical element in your MRSS feed refers to the video thumbnails that will appear in your app. Although the verbal sizes are flexible in Amazon Creator, equally a best practice, consider using 800px x 450px (width 10 height) images. This is a 16x9 attribute ratio. Note that titles are not superimposed over the video thumbnails.

Notation that with MRSS feeds, you cannot take multiple feeds. Additionally, yous cannot have a single feed that features multiple feeds (every bit this leads to different metadata in the feed).

If you update some aspect of your MRSS feed, the app preview (Manage Apps > Preview) might not reflect the updates, even when reloading the app preview folio. If you don't see the updates, your browser might be caching the one-time files. Either open an Incognito/Individual tab, or clear your enshroud. To clear your cache, run across instructions for your browser: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer.

Troubleshooting

If you have invalid MRSS feed, the Amazon Creator parser won't work. You tin can check that your feed is valid using a tool such as Feed Validator.

Next Steps

After you create your app, keep to Step 2: Preview Your App.
