mpx Feed Adapters – Custom Feeds Just Got A Lot Easier
Posted By: Ryan Bogden | Posted: 3.21.2011
Not every video fits the norm. That’s why we’re often are asked to build custom feed formats, such as iTunes, Google, Bing, Boxee, QuickPlay, CSV, etc. Most of these are pretty close to one of our built-in formats, but different enough that they may not fit your requirements right out of the box.

Instead, they developed user interfaces on top of proprietary systems that could only expand when developers felt like adding features. If you wanted to do your own development on top of their systems, you were out of luck.
Since then we’ve had 10 years of continuous improvement and growth in our web service APIs. Other vendors started to add web services APIs over the same period and it’s now a standard part of evaluating a video management provider: “How good are the APIs, and can they grow with us?”
