· external: optional; defaults to false. If false, Myriad will download the image once a month and store it locally for resizing. If true, Myriad will not download the image, and the source image will be retrieved when the image TTL is reached on the Comcast CDN (approximately 30 minutes). This allows an image update to the same URL to take effective as frequently as every 30 minutes but the URL must remain available and be able to handle traffic load from Myriad.
· useUrlHash: optional; defaults to false. Is used to tell imageManagementWebService to hash the url when true. This is needed for urls like https://image.xumo.com/v1/assets/asset/XM008PMCJE4NJN/1280x720.jpg where the path is unique but the file name is not.

Images for the video or Program the video represents. Note that any size is permissible, but sizes should align with X1 supported sizes otherwise invalid sized images may be ignored. The image URL must be internet accessible so that the X1 image resizing service, Myriad, can retrieve it and store it to the Comcast CDN.
