User Name	VOD-WM-Advanced only. The name of a valid user that has
	administration privileges on the VOD-WM server. If the VOD-
	WM Server is within a domain, the name entered here will be a
	domain user. That domain user must have administration privileges
	on the VOD-WM Server. If the VOD-WM Server is part of a
	workgroup, the name entered here will be a local user with
	administration privileges on the VOD-WM Server. A local user
	with administrator privileges having the same name must also exist
	on the MCS Portal Server.
	Note: The MCS Portal Server and VOD-WM Server(s) must all be
	within a domain or part of a workgroup. Any topology that mixes
	servers in domains and servers in workgroups will not function.
User Password	VOD-WM-Advanced only. The valid password of the user specified
	above.

Note It may take up to 20 minutes for new server content to be displayed in the ETV Portal Server. To make content available immediately, go to Global Settings > Global

Assignments > Assign VOD Polling Interval and click Sync Now.

Creating a VOD-D FTP Server

If you are using a VOD-D (Darwin) server, you must install and configure a standard FTP server on the VOD-D server as explained below. (For more about Darwin servers see ETV Video-on-Demand Servers on page 6.)

TTo create a Darwin FTP Server:

1.Install a standard FTP server on port 21.

2.Set the default FTP directory to the Darwin server's Media Folder directory (also called the Publishing Point) or create a virtual directory of the FTP root pointing to the Darwin server's Media Folder.

3.Create and configure a user account with full permissions (read/write, rename/delete etc.) on the Add/Modify VOD/FTP Servers page.

Add/Modify Video On Demand Content Folders

Add/Modify Video On Demand Content Folders can be used to organize content on a

specific Video-on-Demand server. The Portal Server periodically polls certain folders for presence of content and if found ingests the content onto multiple VOD servers. Any files FTPed into a particular folder in the Autoingest folder will automatically be ingested into the corresponding folder on the VOD server(s). You must add these folders using the window shown below. (See Auto Content Ingestion on page 111 for more about auto-ingestion.) Existing folder structures on a VOD server will be mirrored in the Portal Server. However you will still need to associate those folders with other server(s) if the file is to be auto- ingested onto multiple servers.
