How to add web content

This article will explain how to add web content.

Video feeds

You can subscribe to video feeds/channels by adding the RSS feed links, or in the case of YouTube, just input the link to the channel.

1: Go to the Shared Content section

In the UMS settings in your web browser, open the menu and select Shared Content
Settings menu

2: Open the "Add new shared content" modal

When you select the "Add new shared content" button, it will open a modal that allows you to add any type of media. The first step is to choose the "Video feed" type
New shared content options modal

3: Add your feed

Here you can add your feed

Name

The "Name" field is disabled for video feeds, because the feeds define their own names.

Path

The "Path" field defines the directory structure that will be displayed by UMS. For example, if you enter Web/YouTube Channels, your feed will be inside the YouTube Channels directory, nested within the Web directory. This lets you organize your content however you want, and is especially useful when you have different feed providers, and you are using UMS have them all in the same place.

Source/URL

This is the link to the video feed. It will usually end in .xml, but we handle YouTube differently to accept a channel URL directly, allowing you to enter e.g. https://www.youtube.com/@kurzgesagt

Authorized groups

The "Authorized groups" field lets you make this feed only available to certain groups defined in UMS that are associated with different users and/or devices. See Security and Privacy for more details.

When you are happy with the options you entered, select the "Add" button.

Feed order

If the feed link was valid, you should now see the "Name" field populated, and now you can drag the feed up or down to control the order

Save changes

You can repeat the previous steps to add/edit more content, and when you are happy with your changes, select the "Save" button at the bottom of the page. Now you can see your content on your devices:
