Overview
A Show is the parent element that contains all of the episodes for a series. Creating a bare minimal show is very quick. However, don't forget to add the metadata for the show, so the show has the information to display in the frontend.
Note: A Show for the Web Engine media library is a Brand in Jetstream terminology.
How to
Add a show
- Navigate to the Media Library module and expand it.
- Click on Channel name to select it.
- The shows list screen will appear on the right.
- Use the Shows list to find a show for editing, disabling, etc.
- From the shows list, click on the button Add show to add a new show.
- Title: Add the title for the show.
- Categories: Pick a category from the list displayed.
- Note: Use one, maybe two categories. Using too many categories will cause the show to list in multiple collections. This can have an adverse effect on layout and make it appear that you do not have much content.
- Image: Add a 16x9 image. 2K image recommended.
- Click on Create show button. A new show has been created.
- From the success screen you can:
- Edit the show just created.
- Create another show.
- Add episodes to the show just created.
- It is a good idea, to edit the show to add in the additional information to display in the frontend.
- Click on the Edit show button to add or update the show meta-data.
It is a good idea to add at least the information in the Basic information section of the General tab. This will provide viewers with the basic information, about why they might want to watch this show.

- Body: add a descriptive body text. This appears on the landing page, if enabled.

Add seasons to a show
Some partners may work with seasons for their shows that will be or have been running over multiple years. The media library module allows for the creation of seasons for the show. Follow the below steps to create Seasons for the show:
If the show is not already open for editing:
- Navigate to the Media Library module and expand it.
- Click on Channel name to select it.
- Locate the show in the list.
