Multiple Applies

In Edit mode, on some screens it is possible to have more than one Apply button. It is necessary to make sure the correct Apply is used for the section of the screen in which the change is made. Using Apply on one section of the screen may change which settings are available in other sections of that screen. Also, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the screen, to make sure all selections are visible. When there are dual encoders, each slot is configured independently of the other.

Serving Custom ASX and HTML Files

VBrick WM appliances create and serve built-in .asx files that are used to launch streams. VBrick appliances can also serve custom .html or .asx files that you create and store in Flash memory on the VBrick's C: drive. For example, you may want to use the VBrick as a web server to launch custom .html or .asx files. Custom .asx files are typically used for playlists; custom .html files are useful for web pages that have an embedded media player. To support this functionality, the appliance recognizes the following special file names. These special files

can be stored in Flash memory at ftp://admin@<VBrick_IP_Address>/WEB/ and can be

customized and served as necessary.

Custom1.asx Custom1.html

Custom2.asx Custom2.html

Custom3.asx Custom3.html

Custom4.asx Custom4.html

Custom5.asx Custom5.html

For example, you can create and save a file called Custom1.html that is recognized as a special file name and will be available from the VBrick web server. The file Custom6.html is not recognized and will not be served. Note that .asx files are text files that manage the streaming of .asf files. They are very small (less than 1K) because they contain instructions and no data. When a you click a link to an .asx file, the browser downloads it to the browser cache, launches the Windows Media Player, and then starts streaming the file. When the Player interprets the .asx file, it accesses the streaming media specified in the .asx file. The following snippet shows typical content inside an .asx file:

<ASX VERSION="3"> <ENTRY>

<REF HREF="http://<Server_IP_Address>/videofile.wmv"/> <REF HREF="http://<VBrick_IP_Address>:8080/vbrickvideo1"/>

</ENTRY>

</ASX>
