Recorders

A Recorder server enables recording by Portal Server users. If a recorder server is not created here, any attempt to record a live stream or a stored video will fail. Once enabled, users must also be assigned the appropriate permissions (see Allow Content Recording on page 55).

Note By installation default, all recordings are stored on the D: drive. If you install ETV Portal Server on a system without a D: drive, you must subsequently go to Global Settings > Recorders and change the record path as necessary. Also, the Max Recording field shows the default number of concurrent recording sessions allowed. If you exceed 2, you must purchase a record license.

TTo add a Recorder configuration:

1.Go to Global Settings > Recorders.
