Customize Streams

Customizing streams refers to changing the way live streams are displayed in the ETV Portal Server. (VoD streams are customzed by end users rather than by administrators.) Customizing a live stream allows you to change the displayed Program Name, assign a Channel number, and enter a Description that displays in the Messages area of the window. You can also enter Keywords for searching, and values for any custom fields that have been defined (see Custom Fields above).

The ETV Portal Server auto-discovers live streams on the network by listening for announcements, also known as SAPs (Session Announcement Protocols). On a network with many live streams, the administrator can keep the stream list organized by assigning channel numbers. This also provides an environment for end users that is similar to television.
