Sun Microsystems 2.1 manual client% smcls -lt, smcls my-server”a-z*”

The following example displays a “long listing” of the content on the local Sun MediaCenter server, sorted in order of most-recently-modified time:

client% smc_ls -lt
AustinPowers	Jul 17 15:23 FREE		00:02:18 MPEG1SYS	1000
SMC_Trick	Jul 17 02:26 FREE		00:03:17 MPEG1SYS
1000,4000,8000,-4000,-8000
roc13	May 25 22:09 FREE		00:00:14 MPEGTS	1000*
SMCnews_1.24Mbs	May 25 21:54 FREE		00:01:20 MPEG1SYS	1000
SMCnews_0.15Mbs	May 23	16:32 FREE	00:01:21 MPEG1SYS	1000
SMCnews_copy	May 23	16:32 FREE	00:01:21 MPEG1SYS	1000
sun_on_cnn	May 23	11:05 FREE	00:15:00 MPEG1SYS	1000

Note that 1000 represents normal speed, forward direction. A value of 4000 represents four times normal speed. The value -4000represents four times normal speed in the reverse direction.

An asterisk appended to a speed indicates that there is an index file present for that speed. An index file is a list of the splice points in a bit stream. (See Appendix B for a complete description.) Some decoders require an index file to reliably perform trick play; that is, to switch back and forth among streams or to jump forward or backward within a stream.

The string FREE indicates that the title is not being used by either the Content Manager or the Media Stream Manager. cm means that the title is being copied, either to or from the server. (Because of the server’s playthrough feature, you can play a title even as it is being loaded onto the server.) msm indicates that the title is being played.

The following example displays all lowercase titles on the server my-server:

smc_ls my-server:”[a-z]*”
