Description

 

 

 

 

Set Expired VOD Content

Specifies whether expired content will be kept or

 

Treatment

automatically deleted at the expiration date.

 

 

 

 

Assign Content Expiration

Enter one e-mail address for the person who is responsible

 

Warning Recipient

for renewing copyrighted or otherwise protected content.

 

 

When you configure or change either the recipient or the mail

 

 

server, the Portal Server will attempt to send a test message.

 

 

Check that this message is successfully delivered. The Portal

 

 

Server validates the e-mail address but cannot detect other

 

 

mail delivery failures. If the user's mail box is full, for

 

 

example, the message will not reach its intended recipient to

 

 

warn of impending content expiration. For more about

 

 

content expiration, see Copyright Protection on page 3.

 

 

 

 

Assign Mail Server

Required field. SMTP mail server name. In Microsoft

 

 

Exchange, for example, go to Tools > E-mail Accounts > E-

 

 

mail > Microsoft Exchange Server > servername. An e-mail

 

 

to the assigned Content Expiration Warning Recipient is

 

 

generated when you configure or change this field.

 

 

 

 

Assign Presentations

VBPresenter is used to create multimedia presentations that

 

 

can be launched from the Portal Server. The Current

 

 

Presentations Directory defines the virtual directory on the

 

 

Portal Server where the live presentations are stored—the

 

 

default is Presentations. During a new Portal Server

 

 

installation, the required virtual and physical directories are

 

 

automatically created. To use a different virtual directory,

 

 

create the virtual directory in IIS and enter only the virtual

 

 

directory name in this field—do not enter the complete path. The

 

 

Current Presentations User is a pseudo VBPresenter user who

 

 

will be given permission to publish to specified directories and

 

 

VOD servers. Configuring an MCS Presentation User on

 

 

page 117 explains how to create this user; contact VBrick

 

 

Support Services if you need help.

 

 

If you are upgrading from Portal Server v4.0.1 or earlier and

 

 

using VBPresenter, you will need to manually create two

 

 

virtual directories (Presentations for live presentations and

 

 

MCSPresentations for stored presentations), giving the user

 

 

Everyone full permissions, and mapping the local paths

 

 

respectively to:

 

 

C:\Program Files\VBrick\MCS\Presentations

 

 

C:\Program Files\VBrick\MCS\MCSPresentations

clients:

 

 

• VBrick Player – users will be prompted to install a VBrick

 

 

plugin the first time they launch MPEG-4 content.

 

 

• Apple QuickTime Player – no plugin required. Does not
