Fuse.tv Support Tools

This suite of web-based tools assists internal teams at Fuse.tv with various tasks related to publishing/aggregating content online, including e-newsletter authoring and ingesting and caching external RSS feeds. These tools utilize a common, custom-built library and template system, maximizing code-reusability to speed development of new tools in the suite. The underlying library includes an XML data-access layer for application data and a unified authentication system to block unauthorized users across the entire suite of tools.

  • Fuse.tv Newsletter Manager

    The newsletter manager assists in the authoring and management of e-newsletters. Each newsletter is composed of a number of articles, each of which contains a title, body, image and link. These data elements are stored in an XML file representing the newsletter, and are inserted into a separate template when the newsletter is viewed. The completed newsletter page can then be used by external mailing list software to implement and manage the actual email campaign.

  • Fuse.tv Feed Cache

    Fuse.tv re-publishes blog content ingested using RSS/ATOM feeds. This tool manages the feeds that are ingested, converts them to RSS 2.0 (the format favored by Fuse's content management system, and stores them locally, updating the local copy at intervals defined by the user.

  • Fuse.tv DRM Manager

    In order to make free music available for download, Fuse.tv encrypts it using Windows DRM. This tool manages the inventory of available DRM content and allows users to set the terms of the DRM license for each piece of content. When a piece of content is played, the software will request an appropriate license, and this tool will automatically supply the requested license terms according to the content downloaded.
