Meta Data String

Shown if Meta Data is enabled. Maximum 250 characters. Click Insert Now to insert the meta data string into stream. The player supports the following commands that are entered at the beginning of the metadata string. Note that you must type Text, URL, or Filename and a space before the meta data string.

•Text – used to have the Windows Media player show a text caption under the video. Be sure you have captions enabled in the player (Play > Captions and Subtitles) and then insert metadata at the encoder with a string like this: Text This is a caption

•URL – used to have the player launch Internet Explorer and display a web page. Be sure you configure your player security

settings to allow this (Tools > Options > Security > Run Script

Commands when present). Insert metadata at the encoder with a

string like this: URL http://www.vbrick.com

•Filename – used to have the player stop playing your stream and play a file instead. (You may also need to enable Run Script Commands when present.) Insert metadata at the encoder with a

string like this: Filename c:\video\Myvideo.wmv

Note Windows Media Player. Depending on your computer's operating system (Windows 2000 or Windows XP) and on the Media Player version, Windows Media closed captions may not be displayed at all (for example with Media Player 9 on Windows 2000) or may be displayed at the bottom of the screen where they replace a certain portion of the video. This is only an issue in Full Screen mode and happens because Windows Media closed captions are not superimposed on the stream but are displayed at the bottom of the window in a separate area that occupies approximately 15 per cent of the space normally used by the video. This is a known issue with the Microsoft Windows Media Player.
