Common Questions
Can I upload now and publish later?
You can upload ahead of time and come back to complete the publish later, but the transcodes may be deleted after 7 days if they haven't been used, and you would have to start again from scratch.
Can I replace audio/video on a published clip?
YES
- Click on media scheduling on the relevant clip page in iBroadcast.
- To replace the existing audio or video file, click edit media.
- On the next screen click the select button.
- You can upload the new media file by dragging it in to the grey “Upload an audio” box or if you have already uploaded it in to iBroadcast, select it from the list.
- Having selected or uploaded the file, on the next screen you will see the new audio file. If you have just uploaded a new file, you may see a message about it being transcoded. In either case, click the green next button.
- You will then be taken through the usual steps: rights policy, guidance etc.
- Once you have clicked publish, the clip page will show a new version with the new audio file attached. The old version will show as having been revoked.
Can I change the page my clip is attached to?
NO
- Once you have published your clip you cannot change the Parent PID it is attached to.
- If you have attached your clip to the wrong PID then Revoke it and start the uploading and publishing process again.
- Always make sure you attach your clip to the correct page
How long can I make my clip available for?
As a rule of thumb, music clips should be available for 30 days Internationally and speech clips should be available Forever Internationally.
In special cases your clip may require Geo-Restricting to UK only.

Why hasn't my clip transcoded?
Transcode failures are usually due to problems in the source file.
- Have you uploaded the right ? iBroadcast only accepts certain formats.
- Try resubmitting the file.
Why is my job taking so long to publish?
The publishing time depends on the number of items in the queue. It gets particularly busy on Friday afternoons.
Why won't my clip publish?
If the filename is too long, the media will upload but the clip won't publish. Start again with a shorter filename.
I've published a clip, but it's not displaying.
Check that you have scheduled your clip correctly. If you have not added a start date/time then your clip will not display.
If you have scheduled your clip and it is not displaying after an hour, then contact Tech.Ops.Support@bbc.co.uk including information about your clip and its PID.
