Export playlists to syndication channels
Learn how to syndicate content from your JW Platform
Using RSS and JSON feeds, you can export video content from your media library to syndication channels. The RSS and JSON feeds provide syndicators with information about the hosted or registered videos in your JWP account. With this additional information, you can seamlessly aggregate and distribute content through external channels and platforms.
Ingest requirements vary between syndication platforms. It is the publisher’s responsibility to format feeds according to the syndication platform’s specifications. Contact your syndication partner with questions.
If you are a developer or have developer resources, you can use the Delivery API to create an export URL for a standard dynamic playlist.
Requirements
- Dynamic playlist in your JWP Dashboard.
- Syndication import requirements
(Contact the syndicate platform representative for more information.)

FAQ
Can a playlist be exported without including custom parameters?
Yes. You can take replace format=mrss
with format=partner_rss
in the RSS URL.
https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/playlists/{playlist_id}?format=partner_rss
Changing the format to partner_rss
aligns RSS with the specifications of content syndicators, such as MSN and Verizon Media.
Why aren't changes made to a playlist reflected in the export URL?
There is a potential that information could be cached for several minutes.
