Supported Stream Types
You can add any of the video types shown below in Table4. Note that the Portal Server
supports MPEG-2 video delivered as a transport stream only. It does not support video
delivered as a program stream. If your MPEG-2 content fails to ingest and play (and you have
the right permissions), it may be a program stream. Try running it in StreamPlayer. If it does
not run in StreamPlayer, it is likely a program stream in which case you can either re-stream
the video and record it as a new file, or you can use third-party tools to transcode it.
