Indicates the type of the file, either data or index. A data file is an MPEG file. An index file is a file containing splice points for switching back and forth among trick play streams.

When copying a title to or from a Sun MediaCenter server, you must have appropriate permissions in the ACL portion of the copied title. (See Section 5.1 “Setting a Title Access Control List” on page 5-1 for an explanation of title ACLs.) In the course of completing the copy operation, smc_copy creates a new title on the destination Sun MediaCenter server. You can rename the destination title in an smc_copy command.

To load content onto a Sun MediaCenter server, you must have permission, as specified in the ServerAcl file. This file is described in Chapter 9 “Access Control Lists.”

When you copy a title to or load content onto a Sun MediaCenter server, you, the copier, own the title access control list for that file. Other users can play the title, but cannot copy it to another server or remove it. To extend access to the newly-copied file, use smc_settacl, as described in Section 5.1, “Setting a Title Access Control List.”

The following are examples of smc_copy use.

The following example copies the title heidi from the Sun MediaCenter server server2 to the local Sun MediaCenter server, server1, renaming the title to heidi_orphan, in the process:

server1% smc_copy server2:heidi server1:heidi_orphan

The following command accomplishes the same function as the preceding:

server1% smc_copy server2:heidi heidi_orphan

The following command loads content from a local Unix filesystem on the Solaris (UFS) machine host1 to the remote Sun MediaCenter server server1, renaming the title in the process:

host1% smc_copy -i -r 1568700 heidi.mpg server1:Heidi

In the preceding command, note that the -f(format) option is omitted, meaning the format is auto-detected. Speed (-s) defaults to 1000 and type (-t) defaults to data.
