Administration

a.For MPEG devices, select a Parameter Name from the dropdown, enter a Parameter Value, and click Add. Repeat as many times as necessary and click Submit when done. Note that the order in which you add parameters is critical. This is the order in which they will be executed at runtime.

b.For non-MPEG (Other) devices, write the script in a native language compatible with the device and click Submit when done.

URLs

Add/Modify a URL for a Live Video Stream

Administrators can manually enter URLs to live video streams that will not automatically be displayed by the Portal Server. For example, the administrator may wish to have the Announcements (SAPs) disabled on the VBrick encoders for security purposes. Or the Administrator may want to enter the address of an off-network stream such as an MPEG-4 Stream from an Apple Darwin Server or a stream coming from a hosting provider. Additionally, this feature leys you enter the addresses of non-MPEG streams such as Windows Media and Real streams. Note that the Access Control feature Allow Viewing by Content Type does not apply to manually added URLs.

Note For any non-MPEG video, the correct player (such as Windows Media Player or Real Player) must be present on the desktop for the client to be able to receive the stream. Set Top Boxes will not be able to receive non-MPEG streams because the Set Top Box only includes decoders for MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4.

The following examples show valid URL syntax for live video streams. The syntax must be accurate and there is no internal validation of user input:

Valid for Types MPEG-1 and MPEG-2

vbricksys://ip=239.1.1.1&port=4444

Where 239.1.1.1 is the multicast IP address and 4444 is the multicast port.

Valid for Type MPEG-4

rtsp://172.1.1.1/vbrickvideo1

vbrtsp://172.1.1.1/vbrickvideo1

Where 172.1.1.1 is the source IP address and vbrickvideo1 is the program name.

vbhttp://172.1.1.1/vbs2d1.sdp

Where 172.1.1.1 is the source IP address and vbs2d1.sdp is the SDP file name.
