VBrick Systems V4.4.3 manual Add/Modify Video On Demand Content Folders, Using Secure Playback

Figure 9. Content Location for FTP Playback

Using Secure Playback

If you select Secure Playback for Playback Protocol, the file is progressively downloaded and encrypted. In order to use secure playback, the file server must be configured for SSL with a digital X.509 certificate from a trusted certificate authority. Secure download is only valid for HTTPS. By default, HTTPS is played back over Port 443. Note that Portal Server users cannot create thumbnails when Playback Protocol is set to Secure Playback.

Note A file server using secure playback can be configured with an IP address or a host name. If the server certificate is issued for an IP address, you must use the IP address; if issued for a host name, you must use the host name. Otherwise, the video will not play and a message will indicate the security certificate was issued for a different website.

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 153 for more about autoingestion.) 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 autoingested onto multiple servers.
