Fantastic!
few questions:
I thought mediapackages can be extracted from the workflow and engage search service (and searchable by mp id)? If so, how is this different? Since the medata is stored in a variety of services, how does the episode service ensure that the metadata is up to date?
Do you have any screen shots of UI's taking advantage of this service?

Dear all,

I am happy to announce that NCast (ncast.com/) and Entwine (entwinemedia.com) are working 
together to develop what we call an "episode service" for Matterhorn.

As most of you are aware, Matterhorn stores series in the series service, 
scheduling data in the scheduler service and media packages in the... wait! 
Media packages are not stored anywhere! This is exactly the reason why it is 
currently difficult to implement functionality that is based on the processed 
media package, such as retract a media package, publish to an additional 
distribution channel or reprocess with updated encoding profiles.

With the episode service, the foundations for many of these scenarios are being 
created. It will store the media package as part of the ingest workflow and 
offer search capabilities similar to what the workflow ui currently offers. 
Users will then be able to run arbitrary workflows on any number of selected 
media packages. Common examples of such a workflow will be retract or 
depublish, but more complex scenarios like rebuilding of the search index after 
a system upgrade may be possible.

Development of this service and related work items can be tracked under MH-8084.
