I made this to for https://helpdesk.panopto.com/entries/20823271-Bulk-movement-of-captures-to-another-folder so it uses some parameters from the Panopto GitHub.
Most of this code is the paginated session list on page 203. We’ll be using MoveSessions, which requires a list of session guids and a folder ID to move the sessions to.
We create our variables and make a List
|
1 2 3 4 |
bool lastPage = false; int resultsPerPage = 50; int page = 0; List<Guid> sessionGuids = new List<Guid>(); |
[Edit: 13/06/2014: This code was in the full code below, but it is important enough to mention]
We need to specify the Guid of the FolderID we want to pull sessions from. Without this code you will move every video from every folder.
|
1 2 |
PanoptoSessionManagement.ListSessionsRequest request = new PanoptoSessionManagement.ListSessionsRequest { Pagination = pagination, FolderId = oldFolder}; ListSessionsResponse response = sessionMgr.GetSessionsList(sessionAuthInfo, request, null); |
And while we loop we add the Guids to the list
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
if (response.Results.Length > 0) { foreach (Session session in response.Results) { sessionGuids.Add(session.Id); Console.WriteLine("Moving: {0}", session.Name); } } |
Convert the list to an array
|
1 |
Guid[] guidArray = sessionGuids.ToArray(); |
Then call the command in a single line
|
1 |
sessionMgr.MoveSessions(sessionAuthInfo, guidArray, newFolder); |
Full code below

After accidentally moving every video on my dev server into a folder, I’ve added a code snippet that specifically mentions how to search only in one folder.
The full code hasn’t changed and was correct.
