Configuration

The SMD 101 can play video on demand, video from a network share, and video from its own local memory. The following section includes SMD 101 configuration for playing those videos and how to configure the SME 100 for stream discovery that includes the following topics:

Loading Content to Local Storage Using SFTP

Play Video on Demand

SME 100 Stream Discovery

Connecting to Streams Without SAP Announcements

NOTE: In large systems, streams are easier to locate if the encoders are configured for SAP announcements.

Loading Content to Local Storage Using SFTP

The SMD 101 has internal memory reserved for local content. Local content is viewed from the browser Files tab. A typical folder structure for the internal memory is shown below.

Browser

Files

/

audio Audio-File-1.m4a

clips Video-clip-1.mp4

images 1920x1080-Image.jpg

nortxe-backup shares

MediaShare

NOTES:

TMP folders are not accessible.

The nortxe-backup folder only exists after configuration files are saved.

Content (up to 175MB total) can be transferred directly to the SMD 101 from a computer on the same network using an FTP client such as Filezilla, a free FTP program available here:
