Multimedia Acquisition Module

The Acquisition module enables the Knowledge Base system to interact with YouTube in terms of viewing and importing multimedia. In particular, this module enables:

  • searching channels and YouTube videos by name (just like searching on YouTube),

  • searching for channels and videos by source IDs,

  • video search within one channel,

  • searching for channels already imported to Omega-PSIR,

  • preview and ability to watch the video,

  • single and mass import of videos and channels to the Omega-PSIR database,

  • switching to video and channel editing in Omega-PSIR,

  • displaying videos in the channel,

  • filter by the date the video or channel was published and by the Channel's Followed flag.
