Episodes

Skylark enables your team to create a hierarchy for episodic content using brands, seasons, episodes and assets.

The episode object is where the asset object is referenced.

In the Skylark UI, the contents tab for an episode will either allow a user to upload a video through the browser or if an asset has already been selected or assigned, a listing for that asset will be shown instead.

Below is listed every metadata field available for the episode object.

Episodes and Parent URLs

In order for the API to return a parent_url for an asset or episode, that asset or episode MUST belong to a brand or season.

An asset or episode can be present in any number of sets (aka collections, rails, sliders, homepages and generic views), but can only appear in one brand or season.

If an asset appears in two collections for example then Skylark would not be able to return two parent_urls. parent_url is therefore returned as null unless the episode is part of a brand or season.
