Categories
StreamPlayer supports Categories. Categories allow the sender to restrict the ability of network users to see a stream announcement the network. For example, a corporation can broadcast financial, sales and engineering information from separate VBrick appliances onto a common network. A Category known to the sender and recipient protects the stream announcement from being seen by others. A Category entered in the originating VBrick product can be matched in the StreamPlayer application to permit listing of the stream. The
field is set in the Configuration: Encoder > Encoder > Announce section of the VBrick
Appliance. To receive the stream, the same Category keyword must be entered under the Categories tab of StreamPlayer.
To enter a Category, enter the category name and select Add. Once a category is added, StreamPlayer will receive streams that are transmitted from the VBrick with the same Announcement (SAP) category entry as well as streams not sent with a Category. For more information about categories, see the StreamPlayer Administrator Guide.
Note StreamPlayer displays all programs in which a VBrick appliance is not advertising a category. To filter a stream, the VBrick product originating the stream must be configured with a category.
