Caution

NEW IN CISCO DMS 5.2.3 Before a DMP 4305G or 4400G will render any video asset for playback,

 

 

 

 

 

make sure that the video duration is at least 3 seconds. Otherwise, the extreme brevity triggers DMP

 

 

 

 

 

failover, which unloads the current playlist or presentation and causes your DMP to render its failover URL instead.

 

 

 

 

 

To avoid this behavior altogether, use only video clips whose full duration is 3 seconds or more.

 

 

 

 

 

To prevent this behavior temporarily when extremely brief video is somehow essential, disable video failover.

 

 

 

 

 

To recover from this behavior, restart the application.

 

 

 

 

 

A DMP 4310G does not exhibit this behavior.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The duration value that you entered when you added this asset to your media library, or when you

 

 

edited attributes of this asset.

 

 

 

 

Date Last Modified

Time stamp (in the format DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm:ss) that says when the file was last modified.
