VBrick Systems V4.4.3 manual Using Http Playback

Domain or Machine	Displayed when Free Space option is enabled. When the Portal Server
Name	and the file server reside in the same domain, this is the name of that
	domain. When workgroups are being used, this is the machine name
	of the file server. Note: the machine name is not the IP address of the
	server.
User Name	Displayed when Free Space option is enabled. The name of a valid
	user that has administration privileges on the file server or the
	network domain. If the file server is within a domain, the name
	entered here will be a domain user. That domain user must have
	administration privileges on the file server. If the file server is part of
	a workgroup, the name entered here will be a local user with
	administration privileges on the file server. A local user with
	administrator privileges having the same name must also exist on the
	Portal Server.
	Note: The MCS Portal Server and file 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 work or will be extremely
	slow.
User Password	Displayed when Free Space option is enabled. The valid password of
	the user specified above.
Content Location	HTTP	Shown if playback protocol is HTTP. The virtual
	Directory	directory on the file server where content will be
		accessed and managed by the ETV Portal Server.
	Source	The complete path to the physical location of the
		content on the file server.
	FTP	Path to a user-created virtual FTP directory. See Add
	Directory	FTP Server on page 37 for more information.
	Low Space	Optional. Default = 20 MB. If the available disk space on
	Threshold	this publishing point is less than the specified value, the
		publishing point with the largest amount of free space
		will be used.
	Free Space	Optional. This option automatically calculates the free
		space (in GB) available on disk when you add a new
		publishing point or refresh the publishing point list. This
		feature can consume server resources and is disabled by
		default. To enable (or disable) this option (on VOD-WM
		servers or File Servers), go to <install_dir>\program
		files\VBrick\MCS\utils, run EnableQueryDiskSpace.reg or
		DisableQueryDiskSpace.reg respectively, and reboot the
		server when done.

Using HTTP Playback

If you select HTTP for Playback Protocol, Figure 8 shows sample content location. The FTP server has three corresponding publishing directories that map to three local paths. These publishing directories are needed for the Portal Server to discover contents in the file server and to publish new content. The file server also has a web server running with three corresponding HTTP directories that map to those three local paths. The Portal Server
